I’m prepping my personal 6’11"x22x3 double wing round pin HWS speed eggish shape for the install of the internal structure meant to house the 5 probox’s I intend to install. Minimizing additional excess weight is a consideration so the internal wood ‘footballs’, Into which the router bit will later plunge, are not going to be made 5/16" wider than necessary to give me the option of choosing ultimate fin position later.
I was gonna do 1& 3/16" from the rail, with the trailing edges of the front fins aligned with the wings with fin centered in probox, but then started waffling whether I should go 1 3/16 from the exterior of the ~5/16" wide wing, or 1&3/16" from the inside.
Placing fins on hull with spring clamp holding them in both positions has not given me a nod one way or the other in terms of appearance and what ‘looks right’. The fin cluster is moved up a bit on this board to reflect my front footed style of surfing.
Rear quad fins are also aligning with rearwing, but more of a McKee placement more or less splitting the distance from the rail
Thruster fin will be 3 9/16 from round pin tail.
Also wondering if I should move fin all the way back in probox’s and set box so trailing edge of fin rests on shaper’s Dot, giving me that much more adjustment forward.
Thx
