I just picked up a second hand one of these in a 5'10

I haven't ridden a single fin since I was a kid. Can anybody recommend an appropriate fin for it? Cheers

FCS fluid foil seven incher may be a good starting point but that question may see a plethora of answers.

Perfet Fin would be the NPJ Wolfhound by the Salty Merchant.
Got one in a 6'6 rounded pin single'o.

You would think a single fin would be easy to sort out on a board,after all its only one fin.
I have never had so much trial and error on any board I have owned till got a few single fins. The wolfhound I don't really like that much,but the aura which is a bigger but more of a thinned out tip I really like. Both fins were used on my 604. I find the aura give me a bit more flex and feels way better on bottom and top turns. I should give the other more of a shot,but it becomes one of those,I don't want to waste waves scenarios.

I would be interested to know how you go and what you like about it

I concur. Which fin shape? How big? Where in the box? It takes a while to dial a single fin, then I go and surf another board, get back in a singly and it feels all weird again. Going from an 8foot singly to the 7' makes me get all squirrelly.
