Hey, this is my first board and not entirely sure about fin placement. The board is 7" and I’ve pencilled in the following measurements in image - does these measurements look okay to you more expereinced guys? Any advice is appreciated. Cheers.
Call me crazy, but there wouldn’t be much room for a fin on a seven inch board.
That was funny, Sammy. 1/2 inch tow in is an aweful lot. I’ve never gone more than 1/4. Mike
Dogdog. I agree with Rooster about the tow, 1/4" would be better! I’d stretch out the fin placement too, sides at 11 1/2" & centre at 3 1/2" Just my 2c worth, But definitely re- think the tow in…
On a 7’ board, 3/16" toe-in would be my max on the outer fins. And if this were a five fin/quad setup I’d go 1/8" toe-in on the trailing fins in the quad set.
The fin cluster looks a little tight for a 7ft board. I’d move the sides a little further forward.
Your board turned out really nice!
Here’s a 7’ 4" square tail I built, I have the fins laid out at 4" off the tail for the back fin and 12.5" off the tail for the front, 1.25" in from the rail, and 1/4" toe-in, worked out well for me on this board.
There are tons of placements that work.
There are placements desinged with the fins , that create something very few can imagine .

Actually, after inquiring after it I found out it was some moderator action going on that did it, not anyone here posting to it.
