Board shape and length as well as wave type and size will have a lot to do with which of these three options will be the best fit.
Best side bites for longboard.
The price isn t shown at the time of reviewing the product but it is more likely an affordable one.
For 2 x 1 longboards the most common set up seems to be as stated earlier the fcs gl side fins with a fiberglass box center fin usually a narrow 6 5 or 7 5 fin with a cut away base.
The fin matches future fin boxes for installation.
The center fin is measured 7 in height with two side bite fins.
Most noseriders also have a single fin although some are equipped to switch this to a 2 1 set up which consists of small side bite fins on the rails and a larger fin in the center box.

If you want to loosen the thing up 6 1 2 or 7 inch centre with small side bites which i use set about 50mm back from the nose end.
Someone explain this crap to me.
These boards are not build for radical high performance turns so having the side bites to increase maneuverability is not needed.

Good luck have fun and keep us posted with whats going on in the west.
A single fin feels loose and has more speed down the line.
This style of board is great for several things trimming gliding noseriding and also longboarding at a break that suits this style of board.
There are literally endless possibilities to a surfboard setup you have your board how it flows and rides your tail pad your leg rope and then your fin setup but more than just working out which fins to buy but which system to use.
As with the thruster configuration these options are best for modern longboard surfing styles.
