Hi all,
I've just finished a hollow wood shortboard from balsa and I think the final shape has just a little too much rocker and was wondering what I can do with the fin placement to compensate?
it's a 6ft shortboard designed for kitesurfing, so basically it's very simmilar in shape to a modern shortboard but maybe the rails near the back have a little more edge for release.I've copied another working board and was simply gonna copy the fin placement too, but my build has just a little too much tail rocker and probably a bit too much entry rocker too.
dimensions are 6ft x 17 1/2 x 2 1/4. i'm very nervous about the tail rocker especially.
should I move my fins a little forward from the copy board so they get too work before the tail rocker kicks in too much,
or...
do I go a bit back with my fins so there is not too much tail flip behind them...
It's my first build and in all the info about fin placememt - i can find very little to with my problem
any advice will be much apreciated...
Cheers
