Has anyone tried using different fin templates for there frontside and backside rails? I know shapers have been doing that for awhile now with Asymmetrical boards (Quad boxes and longer rail for backside), but what about trying the same concept for a standard symmetrically shaped surfboard using different fin templates?
I was surfing steep Hurricane waves with a new set of Pivot fins today and my board kept sliding out on my backside bottom turns, but it was working awesome going frontside.
I had to switch back to my normal Rake fins after awhile, but it got me thinking if it might work well to use different fin templates (i.e Rake & Pivot) on opposite sides of the board. Has anyone tried this before? Any major drawbacks?
