Modern-ish twin?

Yeah... 7.5ish area seems to be the magic number.
Less than 7 is too stiff... more than 8 is too loose.
I reckon it depends on whether you're running keels or upright twins.
Also how long the board is.
Longer twins would have the placement further forward I would think.
Bizarre that he uses the same True Ames twin fins for every board regardless of the size of the board. No variation in size.
Sometimes you can get so far ahead on the curve you are really behind it
Is your banjo further back placement than stock? back of my futures box is @10.25” doing a lazy measurement.
Have to check out that Lightbender, seems like about right for what I'm thinking. A little fishy in the front but not too fishy in the rear. I just like a little more curve in the tail than the parallel rails of a true fish.
does yours have a center box?
I didn't ask for any modified fin placement on my first one but we did go back and forth a bit, maybe he made changes based on what we talked about. I had him make me a longer one with a narrower tail and a trailer box and the fin placement is a bit further forward.
The box doesn't move and it determines where the fins trailing edge lands so for comparing placement it seems useful because not everyone has the same fins.
I think the trailing edge measurement is important too I just like trolling GG.

I assume that light brown stripe on Anima's is the actual high density foam stringer color if they don't paint over it black.
For the OP- personally, I really want to try Akila Aipa and Daniel Jones performance twins. Starting with AA's contemporary fish though since it will get more use around here.
