C5 mid size question

Everyone and Anyone, I want to make my 4th surfboard, and am contemplating a mid-size all around fun board. The C5 desert island that R. advertises on his site looks intriguing, something similar to it should be fun to make and ride. I’ve got a 7’11" R, Im going to use the full length, with about a 13" nose, a wide point of 21 1/2" , and a 14" or 14 1/2" rounded square tail (about 6" wide at 1" up). Heres my questions : What would be the right fin configuration?.. A 2 + 1 (like a 7 1/2" trailer), and the 2 canards?? Or a thruster setup ( like a set of G5’s or GR’s) + the 2 canards? Does anyone know how R. equips theirs? I’d like to use all FCS if possible. (they are all I’ve installed so far). I’d rather not get into any rocker adjustments on the 7’11"R if I can avoid it. Do I need to include vee, or is a dead-flat bottom ok? This board will be ridden in 3’ to 7’: Florida, PR, and maybe Costa Rica if I’m lucky! Thanks in advance for your consideration and input. I know I’m asking a lot! BTW, this site and its (positive) contributors kick ass. Thanks, Swaylocks!

in my post, wherever i used an apostrophe in a word, it came out as  wierd

not sure - I’ve never seen that before. I’m tes’ting ‘it’ ri’ght now’. You can always try using the preview post before you actually post it. Swaylock http://www.swaylocks.com/links/pages/

think i know what happened. as i typed the original post in the box, my dsl connx went down. it is such a long post, i cut and pasted it to word while i waited for my connx to come back up. then i cut and pasted it back in to the box. let me try a test word: can’t its fine in preview, i’ll submit now. sorry for the confusion, hope i get an answer to the original post!

Ramon lets say you go thruster,install your thruster plugs in first.Then mount your G-5 sidefins,the carnard should be half in front,and half behind of the G-5 fins leading edge and 1" away.Check out the board section of this site click on @the top of the page I have some of mine in there.good luck,Herb
