Hi All
Just finished my first board and would like to thank all Swaylockians for your inspiration and information.
It was a great learning experience.

Great photos and an outstanding board for a #1. Never would have known. Post up a ride report when you get the chance. What kind of fins did you use? What were the positions?
Congrats again. It’ll feel good doing your first turns on a board you made…
Hi llilbel03
Thanks for your positive comments!
I used FCS SF-4s.
Re positioning. There’s heaps of options/alternatives out there. I just did a bit of reseacrh and did what I thought would be best. (Sorry it�s in metric � You might need to convert the measurements) . . .
Rear fins
Distance from tail: 140mm
Distance in from outside edge: 44mm
Toe in: 6mm (I think it was 2� from the nose).
Cant: 4�
Front fins
Distance from tail: 290mm
Distance in from outside edge: 32mm
Toe in: 9mm (2� from nose)
Cant: 6�
I actually made the board for my 17 year old son. I�ll let you know he goes on it soon.
Cheers
