Building A Surfboard - Part Three: Fin Placement

Toe them in, set them straight. How well the fins are placed means how well the board will go. This video will give you all the insights on this process and how important it is.

I have made a few very successful boards, but it is intriguing to watch somebody who actually knows exactly what to do. Thanks for that.

I like your vids! Thanks for sharing. VERY GOOD WORK!

[@RoscoeBodd-mi2hn]

Great video, insightful. Q. Would you modify fin position depending on board size. I.E 6ft vs 7ft placement??

[@davidmcnamee2402]

Did you router out just the foam. Or did you glass it already, then router out the holes and patch over plugs?
I've been shown to set plugs pre glass......

[@thedereklee9]

Fcs Fusion is preglass the older Fcs x2 is post glass

[@crispernator]

hi how did you hold the router jig in place when doing the fin plugs ?

[@pesci_fabio]

I didn't understand what to do after patching the covered plugs with the fiberglass and epoxy (?) I mean : you got closed holes, so the fins can't fit, right (?) So what do I do ? (I'm sorry if it's an obvious question but I'm new to surfboards and surf in general)

[@marcomolo]

I'm guessing you would cut the slots open with a sharp knife after glassing.

[@MrSurfThis]

you sand that part until you reach the sticker over the holes

[@calvinatkinson807]

what board is it? short or longboard

[@Surfmus]

Should've use silica.
