also links to the other multi-fin thread
sailing tri-fins with such large bias to the rear fin defeats the point to an extent and arguably you may as well just sail it using the same rear just as a single. Maybe that's why the value of multi fins is getting a bit lost. On a c.5.0 sail, 10,10,17 or 12,12.16/17 would seem more balanced

Good observation.

Only if you believe in tooth fairies and Santa Claus.
17 and 2 10's slide just like a 22 does on my light wind freestyle board.
24 doesn't feel solid for blasting. 92 Fsw.1
24 is pushing the limit for landing jumps with short US box.
So narrow tip 22 with 2 10 cm sidebites feel loose but fast.
Then again, I'm old school mast forward and rather jump high than try spinny rotation falls.
If you need to pretend you are part of the modern freestyle revolution, then you are using your mast track back, small no doen sails, and smaller fins.
At 70 years of age, I'm under no delusions.

Also, consider this...
Most quads come 16x2 with 9x2 sidebites.
Does one 17 single and 10x2 sound sufficient.

| What size fins does a JP FSW 92 come with?

| With a single fin board you will be able to tell when you get a really great fin. If you have a quad, how could you tell which fin is the good one? How many extra fins does a fish need?

| After many painstaking years of research we finally discovered it’s the Indian not the fin. Sail whatever floats your boat, and don’t listen to anyone on the internet. Rather talk to the guy on the beach whose sailing you want to emulate.

| Although if you have to listen to anyone on the internet, Kevin’s advice has always been spot on for me.
