I've been riding longboards for atleast 6 years now but I just got a new fin for my 9'6 and I just now thought about the position of where my center fin is. I always just had it pushed all the way to the back. I'm starting to think now that maybe if I moved it further up I might be able to get better turns out of it? If anyone knows from experience or wants to give me their opinions feel free
What kind of fin are you using? What are you trying to get out of longboarding? Depending on the fin size, etc, will determine how much you can play around with the positioning. If you are trying to focus on your nose riding skills, push that fin back. If you are trying to go the performance route, you have a little more room to play with. I prefer the RFC Wingnut Sweep over any fin. I primarily use the Sweep in my 9'6" Bing Elevator. The Sweep gives you plenty of mobilty, without sacrificing the nose ride.
