Stroke Rate for Distance

[Area 10]

So. What characteristics of fins do you think assist/resist drafting?

I know there has been some discussion about the Allison fin concepts* resisting drafting. I've only got anecdotal feedback of some friends trying to draft me on my board in training when I use that set up but I personally think this effect has been exaggerated. Paddlers of a similar ability to me be seem to be able to cope with it but granted, it does create a quirky wake.

That really only applies to displacement type nose where the nose get shoved around by the weird wake. Could probably be configured better using a different choice of fin setup
to alter the wake. Also board dependent, boards that were designed around the concept will preform better.
