I am cosidering putting a set of plugs into a Neil Luke freak tri..Not knowing all that much about fin placement firstly is it just a case of putting some trailer fins behind the rail fins?. Acording to Neils website he can do the freak design in a quad,but I'm wondering if the fin cluster is a whole different ball game when he shapes a quad.
Any one out there riding a Freak quad?.
I think the rail fins are set at 18" on the tri, so from this where would I set the trailers?
i have only ever ridden tri fins (with the exception of my old FT 4 fin slab back in theday) and am keen to experiment with riding one.
The other thing is I'm running speed fins in the board and they are now pretty much obsolete so will be fitting FCS plugs..any ideas on trailer fin sizes would help.
Any input appreciated.

Austo,
Best advice I can give you is to give Neil a ring and have a chat to him about what you want to do. Shapers are known to have their own favourite fin placements for tri and quad, and have had the luxury of experimenting with many configurations to find out what works best given the large number of variables you can tweak when it comes to fin placement.
I dont have Neil's contact info but Im sure someone here would be able to get it for you.
