I have been experimenting with quad fin setups for about a year now and through Swaylocks users, thank you very much and other info available on the internet was able to settle on a certain setup and stick with it for 3 high-performance shortboards, 2 6’0" and 1 5’10". I can supply these dimensions at a later date, if any readers are interested.
I did not experience the difficulties of going backside as most quad users attest to or any tracking feeling and was very happy with the results until I tried a 5’8" Lost Shark Quad and experienced a slightly different feeling, which was due to many differences in board design, fin setup, fins, materials, etc… but I didn’t have a chance to measure out the fin dimensions. The next board is going to be a 5’5" x 19.25" x 2.25", basically a copy of the Lost RNF and I would really like to try the same fin setup or at least compare the differences between my current setup and the Lost setup.
Just look at a few waves in the Chris Ward part in Separate Volume to see the different lines this type of board can draw on a wave, it is incredible.
Measurements I am interested in:
*Board dimensions
*Distance from stringer to inside of front and back fins
*Distance from rail to inside of front and back fins
*Distance from center point to front of front fin
*Distance from front of front fin to front of back fin
Any other comments, insight or info are welcome.
Thanks,
Jeff
