Just looking for some advice on how cant angle affects board performance (front fins); also the affect a slightly smaller rear fin has in again board performance (various combinations)?

Appreciate there will be various combinations. . . . All information helpful

he may,
the fins cant and positions in the tuttle head all depends on the board you using- its tuttle box position..
Generally a smaller rear fin usually gives you more speed but less upwind angle and less lift.

Fin set up depends also on your body weight.

If you are looking for top end performance you should also enquire about gettng the new Meanline Fins (www.facebook.com/meanlinefins?ref=hl ). They are performing very well. The most recent event in Gizzeria for the Europe Kite Tour had the top 3 riders are all using Meanline Fins.

Robbie Douglas also uses them for all his speed kiting.

SO,
Bigger fins slower but higher
Smaller fins faster but lower
How does the cant affect performance Marv?
Guess,
More cant better upwind?
Less cant better downwind?
