Hi looking at shaping my first board,can anyone recommend a 2 + 1 fin system that can be purchased online and it possibly includes the router bit and jig?
Sorry if this is anwsered elsewhere.
not sure if a “kit” exists that has all of that…but, you can make a jig for the standard 10.5" fin box pretty easily. someone here may have a starting point but it depends on your router. bit at the hardware store. and i think probox has a jig that comes with the system. Thats gonna be the cheapest and easiest install. Good luck!
I’ve ridden/ride 2+1 set-ups myself within the quiver, and have found some just go better setup as a thruster…so consider installing your fin system box of choice for the fronts along with a standard 10.5" rear box, so you can try out some different fin comb’s to find the best mojo for that particular board… …if you do want to keep the tri as an option, leave enough foam in the tail so you can mount the box towards the back of the board…if you set it at 4", the True Ames Smalbox fin provides an exra half inch of rearwards adjustability so you can set it back at 3.5"…
Run some searches on Sway’s, lots has been done on the 2+1 set-up…and Google Neil Purchase Sr. and his son, Neil Purchase Jr…they are fire carriers for the 2+1 clan in Australia…some pics out there
Ta yeah this shape NP Jr influenced (if a novice can say that)
