NOTES
\n<\/strong><\/span>Mckee’s ‘Width between back fins’ formula, is calculated to give the most fluid and redirectional interchange between turns while maintaining drive, eliminating tracking, rail grab and the need for baby back fins, all associated with having fins too close to the rail. In the past l have placed fins in hundreds of different positions all over the tail. For the ‘M4Quattro’ purist, the ‘Mckee M5 Multisystem’ is just a security blanket or like training wheels because for them the ‘Thruster’s’ central fin is obsolete. The quad cluster can be moved forward to loosen up a board and for shapers of custom boards, many compensations can be made for weaker riders or for special needs such as looser guns but with the advantage of not losing drive. Although taken off the current formula there is the shapers option to move the cluster at any amount not exceeding the stupidity level. I personally had great results on pintails by moving the positions forward up to 2cm or \u00be” forward. The videos of Tom Carroll in Hawaii are examples of the result of these positions — The variations are limitless!<\/p>\n
