asking for fin set-up input

Hello dear reader.

Pleas help me with this board, eps/epoxy

for knee to waist high slop

any system but futures…

few days ago, somebody posted a link to griffin his quad fins on ebay, tempting, but would he give me fin specs when i buy a set of quads?

i-d prefer to go Fusion, otherwise pro-box 

the first one front + back fins were at 11" + 5,5" ---- 1.1/8 off rail + 1.5 off rail ---- 3/16 toe + 1/8 toe ---- 5 degrees cant + 3* cant

 

this one, i was thinking to do 7 degrees front and 5 degrees back, and distract 1/4 from the distance off tail, to get more hold

is it possible to tilt the fusion boxes to add cant btw?

thanks! Wouter

dang Wouther, that tail is thin! i like the looks of this one...

that thing is going to be a wippersnapper!

sorry, can't help you on fin placements tho

Fusions come in 5 degree and 9 degree cants. If your bottom has Vee then go with the 5 degree, and if it has deep concave then go 9 degree. The reason for this is that a  fin set on a vee will have added cant due to the fact that the vee panel is already tilted some, so a lesser degree cant wil counter act this problem of ending up with too much cant. a concave(where the fin box will be) is tilted the opposite direction than that of a vee, so this will need a nine degree cant to counter act this problem. Once you choose the box that is right for you, subtle tilting may be necessary to get your desired angle.

I know that futures tell you to shim the jig plate, so maybe you could put some shims under the fusion one to make the routed hole a little bit tilted one way or another.

hey mr a stevens

that was a good one i hadn’t thought of

used 1.0mm balsa as shims, some coincidence that it makes the fins tilt 1 degree more or less!

shuved them under and got 6+4 instead of 5+5 , real happy

will post pics later… on a different thread
