I am riding a 9’0" longboard. I have two small fins on the outside and a big fin in the middle. Is there anything I can do with the fins that will make it easier to turn?
Thanks…
Move center fin forwards.
Use a higher aspect center fin.
Turn with more power with your backfoot back farther.
Ride faster, bigger waves.
Try LeeDD’s idea first. Then, commit to ONE fin system for all your future board purchases and spend some bux buying different size side fins–sidebites, thruster sides, twins–AND significantly different-in-shape OR size centers, presuming you have removables.
Experiment thru a continuum: try the board as twin, as a twin + trailer (3.5 to 4" center) as a tri, as mix and match sides size V. center type and size. OR reverse the listed sequence.
I’ve no idea what you’ll favor.
What others may favor is largely irrelevant for you.
You’ll gain subjectively valuable info. Fin play can turn a POS into a magic board or vice-versa.
Remember that the shaper’s opinion is always the best starting point.
Wesley,
Good advice from the others. You may also consider trying the board as a single fin.
Try getting a wonder bolt so you can move your fin around while you’re in the water.
