You probably just need bigger or stiffer fins. A few details about the board and fins would be helpful, as well your definition of "spin out." It is unlikely a board problem, but of course changing boards or fin configuration will alter the handling. What is your experience level with surfboards? Is...

1. Please ask what the rules are at any beach you visit. Should you ignore #1 and not know what the rules are, please do not argue with the local kiters when they inform you what you are doing is wrong. If they say "Do not do XXX," please do not reply "I am doing XXX for YYY" or "I am doing XXX beca...

I think your fabric has a higher thread percentage than the website. I count 26 threads in a 4" span in your photo. Each thread is 1/16" wide. Doesn't this make the percentage thread to Mylar 26/64, or ~ 40%? On their website I count 12 threads in a 4 cm span. Each thread is .1 cm wide. Isn't this p...
