Christenson Fish, Quad + Keel ? WTF

Really wish I had a pic, but the website is done in flash. At any rate if you go to http://www.christensonsurfboards.com/ and enter then choose “navigation” from lower left of screen, , then “boards”, then “fish” you can scroll through pictures. Pictures 2 and 3 / 24 shows a fish and on one rail as a keel fin, and opposite rail has 2 fins in a quad setup with a double winger on that rail to boot. If you havn’t seen this, it’s well worth checking out.

Would like to open this up to ride reports or thoughts! Thanks

Thanks for posting those :slight_smile:

Wow no takers on this thread huh? Weird.

I wonder if that board’s for a goofy footer…

Seems to me the bump/quad side should be on the heel side, not the toe side. The heel side has the disadvantage in terms of leverage, so you’d want a little more responsiveness from the fins on the heel side. One way to do that is shorten the rail line (add a wing), and put on smaller fins.

E-mail him and ask.

whoaa dude, is that for a goofy or a regular footer?

The heel side being quad does make sense. Curious how you’d set up the fin placement? haha

i think that was Chris’ personal board. What everyone is saying makes sense since the toe side would give the long rail keel drive and heel side has the shorter turning radius rail bumps and easy release quad fins.
