Center Fin Box Placement
Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2016 5:43 am
Hi all
I am having a new kneeboard made and I am wondering how far the US center fin box should be placed
I have measured my two second hand Australian Kneeboards and they measure out 18 inches from the
rear edge of the board to the trailing edge of the center skeg box-- both on my Heart pin tail as well as
my Heart Square tail shaper thruster boards
My other US boards have the US box placed far behind these measurements--
what would be some of the DISADVANTAGES of having a skeg box placed that far up??
Does the amount of rocker on a board have any influence on where the US Box should end up being placed??
I don't ride quads only single fin and thruster configurations
Looking forward to any comments/suggestions in regards
