Well....i can make my 6'1 x 24" Crank BT's.....soo stable in the tube i can take my outside leg off the board and drag my flipper/calf..... and its a trifin w/ roundtail...

this ones close to proportionate ....wider tail (10-12" pod) and using Big BLAST quad fins.....

I Am above average size wouldnt you say? 6'6 x 230 ibs...and to be able to flipperdrag confidently on a 24"..... ya, i think I can go wider.....

shouldve listened to the master in the begining and got a 5'8 x 26".....

I think i remember a thread when a few kneelos said 5'8 x 24" was their magic dimensions......

MOW ; Hows that 5'10 x 25" spoon workin out?

O.K. guys...you all have gave me some great info as far as fin placement...front to back ...now can any of you give me your thoughts on toe and cant angle on fin placement...I'm concidering putting FCS x-2's on the rails and a standard adjustable centerfin box....but i noticed the FCS "Fusion" Rail Plugs come with pre-set Cant angles....what Cant angle t works best on a TriFin...or can someone tell me what will the board do on the different Cant angle's

give stonefish skegs a view, there are many winged fin variations but these were developed for kneeriding in the tube. enjoy
