    Spitfire Twin Bump Keel?

    Here's a pic of a fin config i am going to to try. I hand cut and shaped the bump keel trailer to go with a set of K2 Keel fins. Check it out.....

    From some of my experimentation with fins, especially the use of little trailers, that one looks like it will make for a pivotal feel and some ability to slide the tail although I have no clue how those K2 keels go, they look very drivey.
    Jesus is coming, look busy!
    Moving forward or just spinning faster?

    I was thinking you might want a narrower fin in the back. like a 3.25 side bite ... that K-2 fin is huge, big keels might make it too drivey and track.
