Just finished a Comet/Fastback/Kind Creation type board (7’2x17x22x14.5) and although I’ll be riding mit mostly as a single with a 9" flexie fin, I’d like to put some sidebiters on it . I checked the archives, but couldn’t find much information about fin placement for this type of board. Any ideas? It has about 4" nose rocker, and 2.5" tail rocker. Thanks!
Eggman - I’ve spent many long hours staring at the Comet webpage and am really interested in getting more details about your creation. Got Pictures? Can you give me any more dimension details? How about the rails? What blank did you use-- Clark’s 7’3" Phil Becker? Any details are greatly appreciated . . feel free to drop me an email if you’d rather not bog down the thread with our exchange. Thanks-
I have a 7 foot egg, 2+1 set up, with the side bites set 14" from the tail. Works great for me.
i have box comet fins in white eggman. if you want one let me know.
Thanks Foamdust, that sounds about right to me. Joyride–I used the 7’3 Becker blank, superblue. The rails are 50/50 turning hard in the tail. It’s a rounded pin, which I think is the best tail design for this type of midlength. Check the archives for a post by Gregg that gives exact dimension information–mine are pretty close to his except the nose is a bit more pulled in. I built a smaller one for myself over the summer (6’8") that works great as a single fin. I’m going to drop some fcs plugs in there soon for a bit more versatility. Good luck!
