In the process of making a similar board for posible local cable park use but also and more likely with my Kites so I have a question about fins and the positioning of them on the board.

What is the usual distance from the ends of the board ?
What is the standard size fin for the 42" board ?
How many fins if fitted - 1 either end or 2 either end as fitted to kitesurf boards
How well do these boards ride finless ?

would it be worth setting the board up with a multi fin option so I could swap & change them to suit the conditions ?

Cheers
AJ Cool
