Hi there, I've just glassed my 4th board ( a 5'7'' x 20" x 2 3/4" vee tail) and I'd like to make it single fin. I want make a wooden fin by myself and I wondered if anybody here could pass me an appropriate single fin dime.And what about the position ?Thanks

Not enough info…post picture or give us the tail width (1foot up from the tail).  Pod or Tailblock width (the part that’s the furthest aft).  Not sure what a vee tail is; swallow tail?  What’s the rocker like? Not just how much but where the how much is.  What kind of rail set-up are you going to use?  What kind of waves, how do you want it to surf (carvey/down the line or pivot vertical)…

Prolly a Greenough Stage IV about 8" deep set so the tip of the fin is 1-3 inches up from the tailblock
