So ive heard a lot of guys recommending big heavy fins for traditional noseriders, and was wondering if anyone has any experience using varying weights on similiar fins. I get there is always a balancing act between tip and tail and was wondering if weighting the fin would really come into play that much?
Just glass a brick into the tail.
I haven’t done any testin of that kind, but thinking freely, maybe more weight in the tail will help with some lift on the nose? Like if your on a teeter totter with a fat kid on the other side.
Couldn’t imagine it does a whole lot though. Big heavy boards and fins will definately ride more oldschool but I don’t know of any reason to make your fin extra heavy to surf better. I had a friend who would put wax all over his fin for extra drag. I think it was to slow him down so he stayed on the nose longer
