not sure if this is applicable to an TT tho...Rigid one like Mako, maybe, but I wouldn't ride it on my local:)
Used to own the same style board. Never again, thanks.
My reasoning why this is is not so relevant to an TT is that a fin significantly disturbs a water line. Plus, the board is not rigid.
That's why my toe fins are less than 1" high (hand made symmetrical fins). Take a fins off, I'm flying.
Also, a water line changes with edging I think. Edge harder, dig in, see the result. But, I can check with two of my prod. boards...
Plummet,
I just slapped heaps of epoxy to get the mirror shine on my board...The benefit of vac for me is just to press a FG onto the core.
