Hi Guy's,

Firstly I am an industry person, we are site sponsors (I use my own name for clarity) and I am looking for feedback.

We are currently in the process of putting the finishing touches to a smaller center fin for our range of SUP Wave fins. Due to differing styles of riding we always have a very lively discussion about where to place a US / Std Box center fin in the board.

What do you do? why? and does anybody prefer / ride with the fin right at the back of the box as in the below image?



With fin placement in mind we are deciding where we should place the 120 fin blade as the chord length is shorter than the base length.

So what's your take on the below options?
Option A - Front
Option B - Center
Option C - Back



Thanks for your input and hope this creates some discussion

Cheers,
Marco

Alrighty, no shark talks here! I have a short board (6 x 18 or 19 (can't remember) x 2.25) that's just sitting around doing nothing. Was super cheap so don't mind giving it the chops.

I want to try converting it into a single fin (remove the centre plugs and insert a fin box). Honestly not too worried about the end result but will be stoked if it works. Anybody with tips/ tried this before? Will probably end up screwing up and leaving it to a shaper to pick up the pieces

I've got an 8' minimal thruster that I want to but a finbox in so I can ride it as a single fin, to make things easier I was thinking of leaving the fcs plugs in it a putting the finbox right in front fcs plug which would make the rear of the single fin 8" from the tail of the board, do you recon it will be to far forward ?
I was thinking I might be able to get away with it or should I go to the extra trouble of taking out the fcs plugs ?
