Dear Forum,
Can an existing "Single Fin" surfboard be converted into a widow maker with fcs plugs and side bite fins?
I bet some readers would ask why would you want to distroy a beautiful single fin with additional drag....
The Board being considered is a 7'4" (SF) gun, which has performed very well in home waves of size.
Doing Java and thought the board may benefit from some extra holding power.
I have a tri fin mal which surfs much better as a single fin than the tri set up.
But I've never used a mal in waves of consequence.
Appreciate your comments

Yes.
In that size range, I would just go with with the single.
That being said, if you are intent on adding fins, I would
go with the following: Center fin = 6" Side bites = 3.5" base.
If you are surfing a general Indo wave, the single should
be just fine, especially if you are tuned in to the board. If
the waves are a dredging reef, then I would prefer the widow
maker set-up. Just my 2C but "been there, done that"!!!
Interested to know what you came up with!
