there in black and white

A slightly more illuminating picture of the bing mini-sim. Shows the fin template well which is a normal Geppy fish keel rather than a more classic simmons half moon shape. These are set canting inwards towards the stringer by a few degrees though i'm pretty sure thats builder error and not how they are supposed to be. Legendary californian build quality not always spot on then!

 Going to have to give it back soon....

I asked Eavey (who sticks to pretty traditional outlines on minis)about this and he said he will do a few degrees of turn on the fins on some minis. I believe its usually for lite weight guys and just adds some ease to turns. Others he leaves parallel to rail line. So this may not be a "mistake".
Board looks fun!

i dunno, it's not the leading edge thats toed in towards the stringer as you look down on the plan shape, it's that the fin is tipped towards the middle relative to the base of the board when you look at it end on, rather than the tip being canted a few degrees out from the base or just set verticly perpendicular to the plane of the base.
