How To Find, Measure & Replicate A Fins Cant Angle

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Requested by the one and only Raphael Drayton, a run through on the fin angle finder I use to find and adjust cant angles on both fin repairs and installations. --------------------------------------------

    @@smallkinedings it turned out okay, I helped route out the old box and set the angle with the dummy fin. The other guy laminated hot coated and sanded. For whatever reason his resin gave off a pinkish hue to it. It’s fully cured and has the neccessary strength but it’s not crystal clear like the other epoxy boxes. Not sure what happened but it worked. He used resin research quik kick maybe additive f gives off that color I have no idea.

    I just purchased an Aipa Big Boy Sting in 7"8". While at the shop, I chose a set of Futures twin fins, (Son of Cobra) that have a 7.5 degree of cant. How will this angle affect the performance?

    So simply speaking, the less cant angle you have the faster and drivier the board will be. Think of a fish which will generally have very little (if any) cant angle. They turn in large arcs not sharp pivots like you’d see in the WSL. The more cant angle you have in your fins the more responsive and “loose” your board becomes but you’re sacrificing speed in gaining manoeuvrability. This is of course effected by your boards width, concave, tail shape, length and rail profile so your job as the boards owner is to find the happy medium for you between speed and manoeuvrability depending how you want to surf and how the board was intended to be surfed 🤙

    Heya man, can definitely show that ifnI get a job in like it. Important thing is to level your routing jig, so pack some shims under the rail side of the jig so that it's level before routing

    @small kine dings ok, but for setting the plug into the hole, for example the left plug, is it so that the right side of the plug is deeper in the blank and not even? And if so, do you fill the space with epoxy before laminating? Hope you understand my question. It's difficult to explain without pics or vids
