Thruster Fin Placement Optimizer

Thruster Fin Placement Optimizer MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Optimizes surfboard fin configuration based on board geometry and wave conditions.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides precise hydrodynamic calculations for surfboard fin setups. By analyzing board dimensions, tail width, and wave energy, it determines the ideal longitudinal position for the center fin using calculate_center_fin_position, calculates lateral rail fin placement with calculate_rail_fin_placement, and determines optimal inward toe angles via calculate_toe_angles. For a complete configuration, use optimize_full_setup to receive a unified set of center, rail, and toe parameters tailored to specific tail shapes like Square, Swallow, or Round.

What is the best fin setup for a 6ft board with a 12 inch tail width in hollow waves?

For a 6ft board in hollow waves, the optimal center position is 24.5 inches from the tail, with rail fins placed 7.2 inches from the centerline and a toe angle of 1.5 degrees.

Calculate the rail fin placement for a wide board in mushy waves.

The side fins should be placed 6.5 inches from the centerline to increase maneuverability in mushy conditions.

Find the center fin position for a narrow tail board.

The center fin should be placed 18.2 inches from the tail to prevent sliding out on a narrow tail setup.

Different wave profiles require different stability and lift. For example, `calculate_toe_angles` adjusts angles to reduce drag in hollow waves or increase lift in mushy waves.
