Greetings everyone,
It’s been about 3 year since I shaped my last board and I am now back at it with this 6’8" with a fish tail with 2" crack. The dims are 6’8" x 15" x 23" x 16" x 2 5/8". The board will be ridden in between chest and head-high Florida beach break. It will be a quad and I figured the fin placement would be about 12" for the fronts and 6" for the rear. I have not decided entirely on toe as I will be using 4way Fins so it will be adjustable anyway.
The fronts will be about 1 1/4" off the rail and the rears will either be 1 1/5" of the rail or lined up the points of fish tail. It seems lining up with the points will be more in the middle of the on-the-rail style and mckee. Because of the girth of the board (and me!) I was going to put about 1/8" vee in the tail but I am not exactly sure where I need to place it. I was thinking about the 20" mark which is also where I plan to harden the rail as it is just a head of the front fins.
Does it sound right for my placement of the hard rail and vee or is there a better place to put it? I lost all my good bookmarks I had from years ago and have not had a lot of luck finding them again. I would appreciate any suggestions and tips you guys have.
