Fin Crunch... How do I fix this?

General Discussion

I love my Griff 5 fin.  But for comparison  sake, how wide is your tail and what is the toe-in on the sides?  Same as GG?

The board in question borrowed it’s outline from Robin Mair’s “Woodwind”: http://www.mairsurfboards.com/pages/design_portfolio/shortboards.html

So, the tail is 14 1/2"…

The fins are marked out according to the numbers that Griffin gave to a friend of mine when my friend was shaping a 5 fin shortboard (a 5’ 10" IIRC). I had to alter them very slightly due to a messup with my shaping.

Hi Chris -

Have you considered taking it a step or two farther and creating a tubercle leading edge... like a hump-back whale's?  Seriously, the science surrounding this concept is impressive.

I’ve considered it, hahah I’d probably get even more weird looks in the parking lot before paddling out =D…

Too much fun stuff to try =)
