Pro box twins/ventral installer near Clearwater, FL?
« on: June 25, 2018, 01:14:23 AM »
I've been thinking about getting Larry's system installed on one of my boards, and I'll be on vacation in FL next month.  I was wondering if there's any shops near Clearwater that install The twin/ventral system?  It would be nice to get that work done while I'm there.

You will have to go over the Cocoa beach area and see George.

Anyone have contact info for the guy in Nashville, TN that does the pro box ventral installs?  I have a Kentucky race next weekend, and could side trip to drop my board off, and then pick up the board on my way to my Florida trip.

Just seen this, it has been crazy for sure a changing world. Thanks for the aggressive movement toward Proboxfinsystems on Sup Boards. The guys name is Tony #615-429-7282. Mahalo, Larry

Thanks Larry!  Is that his personal cell, or the shop number?

Also I was curious, does it depend on my board and my stats (height/weight), etc as to which twin fins and what size ventral I'd want?  I'm presuming Tony sells the fins along with making the conversions.

If this is the Sunova pintail you were getting than you might want Tony to confirm the setup
with Larry. those pintail boards could be a little more tricky to get right.

Fin setup will change according to board but also make sure you specify which conditions you
primarily use the board as it matters. I wouldn't assume he has all the fins you need.

Make sure to order ahead.

Yes for safety go ahead and share here stats, Height which relates to Torque on the paddle stroke, Board length with width and yes like Burchas explains condition of water paddling. Mahalo, my friend and Welcome to the Allison Race Twin Movement with now a few Thousand happy paddlers.

I'm 6'2", 175 lbs.  My primary board I want converted is a Sunova Allwater Faast Pro, 14'x27".

Primarily, I am using it for flatwater racing, mostly in lakes and reservoirs, maybe a couple rivers.  Not too bad of chop/wake, but for some of the races, the water isn't closed to boat traffic, so they can kick up some wake.  My home reservoir is known for wind, that can kick up some chop if the wind runs the length of it.  It seems most of the races I'm entering have between 1-3 buoy turns. 

What I'm looking for is an improvement on stability and glide, and better handling of side chop. 

The other board I'm thinking of converting is a 14'x26.5" Bote Valhalla. For that board, I'm mostly just looking for stability.  It's a fast board but very tippy for me right now.

With where the stock fin box is placed on the Sunova, after the conversion, would that box still be able to be in place, or would the placement of the new center fin box mean the old one would be removed.  I know the center is more forward in your system, I'm just not sure how much forward it is.  I'm just curious if I could always go back to my current single fin setup if I wanted to.  Though hopefully I'll like the 4 fin so much that I wouldn't want to run my current setup.  BTW, I'm actually really liking using the 7" Stinger on my Sunova right now.  I'm currently paddling better than I have yet in my two years of SUP.  My Sunova/Stinger combo has me about .5 mph or so faster than last year.
