hmm…

bottom of the board has a single concave from the nose to the front foot area and a V from there to the tail.

sharp edges in the tail section.

if so , than i just might put them on the deck up front the nose :slight_smile:

With the amount of curve or ‘‘hip’’ on that outline, the rear fins are going to end up considerably inboard of the fronts,

even if you put the rears close to the rail. Also when you go that short (5’4’'), you need to start moving the fronts back.

(Proportions)

I’d suggest 10’’ and 5’‘, both 1.25’’ off rail, but I could be totally wrong as I have no reference point for the outline. I

haven’t done one like that. Actually it’s probably going to ride like a roundtail, because that’s what it is except for the

small swallow cut.

Have fun!

ok I might be able to help you out here. I just finished a 56 biscuit with almost exactly the same dims. If you are using probox, probox larry gave me these dims for quad placement. Top 2 boxes 12 inches from tail and bottom 2 fins 7 in from tail. (both measurements from back of the box) all fins 1.25 in. In from the rail. Have a spread of 3/4 in. In between the boxes.IMPORTANT: have the back 2 fins parallel to the front 2. I toed the fins in 1/4in. And it seems to work well. You might wanna modify the lengths from the tail cuz u made a 54. Search biscuit quad placement if you want proboxlarrys version of this. Good luck!!!

I read your post and Soulstice’s post as well and I think I’m going to put them 5" and 10" up from the tail.
