An archive search gave me the answer of 6 1/2 degrees for all side fins.Does that also refer to the shallow box quad rear fins as well? Jusr asking because I have a new board with futures and slim pickings as far as a fin selection. The rears I have are the Stretch template 4 inch double foiled fins and they seem to have half the cant built in. They are too small. I have no money and a finished fin panel laying around so it’s time to make molds for futures tabs. Any help would be appreciated and I’ll gladly buy anyone who replies a virtual internet beer.
Depending on the fin, the front fins vary, but most are 6.5 ish degrees
The rears are normally 2-3 degrees.
Different sets have different cant, but that is whats normal.
I will take whatever is on tap:)
Thanks melikefish! I’m having one of these tonight. I hope you can find one wherever you are.
I don’t want to hijack the thread, but I had some boards in for repair the other day and I couldn’t help but be a bit nosey and check the fin cants on the boards.
One board stood out as having a whopping 12 degrees of cant- closer to 15 degrees if you measure it from the surface of the concave! Its from quite a renowned shaper, Id assume that its either a mistake from the glasser or due to the learner shape of the board its designed to add stability and slow things down a bit for the rider???
Nice, you are drinking the good stuff. I had my man card taken from me and settled for some white wine with the wife…
LTM, I was a little curious about that. I looked it up on sways a bit ago. Say you want 6degrees of cant is it from the bottom right by the fin, or do you do it 6 degrees from the rail to rail line?
Doesn’t make too much of a difference on the few boards I have made because the tails are relatively flat, but was wondering what you do when you add significant curve in the tail.
I found high numbers, like that to be good for mush/lift/turn initiantion, and not good for hollow juice, as it would suck up the face beyond my control, but it didn’t seem to add to stabilty, or slow things down. Only my personal experience though.
