The assembly in Single End – Old School (a fin) will be perfect to turn, it will still not be the top in terms of stability. It is a configuration mainly adapted to longboard, where we do not look for speed.
Twin mounting (two fins), is one of the least known configurations! This assembly will be excellent at the level of the edge grip. In general, the boards mounted in Twin are retros fish.
Thruster editing (three fins) is the most used configuration in surfing, especially in Shortboard practice. It will offer you not only speed but with much more stability than twin-tip.
Finally, the Quad assembly (four fins) will give you maximum grip. It will allow you to surf at the top of the wave with maximum speed.
