Just wondering if it is always the case that if you move the centre fin forward it will make any board looser, as it seemed to do the opposite on a mates boards the other day.
Is it better to get a smaller fin rather than moving the fin all the way forward?
Anyone want to share what difference the fin position has made on their boards.
Thanks

Sorry to spoil the debate but basic physics decrees that if you move the same fin further up the centre box then it will become looser. Any one that tells you any different must be a graduate of Hogwarts school of Magic as the only way it will stiffen it up is with the Cruciatous curse.(I did hear a rumour that Volcom is possibly a muggle venture by Voldemort???) THe only possible explanation is that the resultant looseness made your mate alter his stance, definitely possible on a shorter style SUP. The best way to answer your question about smaller fins is to try and borrow one off someone and try. Fin technology is a very personal and suprisingly complicated art. There are people like Teatree, Lacey and Wazza to mention a few in QLD that are geniuses at different combinations and their capabilities. In WA it would be worth talking to Hilly, Greenroom and Sameh again just to name few. Good luck with it all!!!!!!

Does his fin set up look like this?

I,v seen some boards with really long central fin boxes.
If your back fin is pushed to far forward and come into alignment with your thruster fins this could have a stiffening effect.

Ha, I think I've spotted the problem ---- continuous LOLLING

I actually had them inside out once without noticing, surely that just a setup??? Thanks Matt 18 for spotting it!
