I built the same board and put a fin box in because I couldn't see any advantage in the twin skeg set up.

It goes OK in small waves so I guess it might have downwinder potential.

Would be interesting to compare with the twin skeg as it might give more directional stability, but more wetted surface usually equals more drag.

if the skegs weren't to big, two of those might add up to the fin area of a normal dw fin. maybe it could work enough to put up with a touch more drag
