Hi! I’m right now in the finishing stage of shaping my first board. Now for the Questions: How would You know where to put the fins (thruster setup Red x fin system) Especially confused about how far off to the sides to put the two side fins?? The board is 15.5 inches wide at the tail. Also would appreciate some advice on how to shape concaves? Do You use any special tools ? Living in Sweden where there’s not really any surfboard shapers around. Very stoked on this bulletin board!! Baltic sea very flat this time of the year (mid summer)+ Disgusting algae bloom at the moment. Thanks and stay stoked Erik

On that board, the tail is like 14 1/2", and the forward fins are placed 12" up from the end of the swallow tail. The rear fin is about 4" up (the tip of the fins is in line with the center of the swallow). The back of the forward fins are 1 1/8" from the rail. The front of the fin is about 3/16" closer to the stringer than the back. The fins are tilted 4 deg. in relation to the bottom of the board.
