Question about fins. Thruster, single, 2+1??? (pic inside)

General Discussion

Hi,

my name is Philipp, I´m 21 and I´m located in west Germany, far far away from the ocean… I began shaping my own boards last year, all with home depot EPS and epoxy.

I´ve been reading here so long and learned so much, even without one single post. Its a great forum with so many great shapers all over the world.

But now i ran into some problems with the fin choice of my new board #4 (ok my brothers new board). He will ride it mostly in french beach breaks. the dims are 6`4 x 19 3/4 x 2 7/8. It has low thin rails but lots of volume in the stringer area.

What do you guys thinking, should i go with a thruster or a 2+1?

I have no clue…

Thank you very much for any advice, whether the fin config or the board itself.

Greetings Philipp

PS: if you find some mistakes, collect them and send them to my english teacher :wink:

I think thruster

you could do a 2+1 and still set it up as a thruster

maybe quad +1

Wow, Nice stringers! Did you glue that up yourself? let us know.

For fins, check out the ProBox on the move thread. I had the same issue. I decided on the ProBox Versa set up; that way i can ride as a quad, thruster or 2+1.

thank you for your answers.

and thanks benny for your german reply, and guys benny is correct when he writes “weiß” but on the american keyboards, there´s no sharp S like its called here.

I´ve forgotten to say that I´m using the FCS system, which is even difficult to get here.

I have a set of 6 plugs here for a thruster but I think i´ll try to organize a box. Maybe I can use the center plugs as twinzer plugs for small leading fins… but a quad+1 sounds also good to me… confusing

yes I made the blank completly alone, pressed the stringers and glued them up. I´m pretty stoked about that board, should go well. But now I´m waiting for the resin so I began #5… planned is a shortboard for waves up to 2m (6 foot), but I think I´ve to read a bit more about rails and concaves.
