Fins: fins not included in the above estimate. The “Salmon Creek” was designed as a single fin board and we have found that fins with a traditional profile work great on this board. We place the aft end of the US style longboard fin box 4 ½” from the tail. Here’s a primer on what to expect from a single fin board: http://www.surfscience.com/topics/surfboard-fins/setups/what-to-expect-from-a-single-fin/ Although the “Salmon Creek” was designed as a single fin, it could be set up as a tri-fin board as well. Here are some ideas about how to layout a three fin set up: http://www.surfscience.com/topics/surfboard-fins/placement/surfboard-fin-placement/ If you decide to set this board up as a three fin board, we’ve found Hanalei fin boxes and fins to be an excellent fin system and use Hanalei fins exclusively on all of our surf sups. http://hanalei-fins.surf/ If you would like specific recommendations please contact us here at Clearwood Paddelboards.
