Boards never ride straight, the nose always points a few degrees to windward of the true direction of travel.
Water does not travel under the board in a straight line from nose to tail, so there is no need to align the fins to this line.
An outside fin always gets flow from under the center of the board, moving out towards the rail as it moves back towards the tail. So it is often more efficient to have this fin be assymetrically foiled.
There are exceptions.

The challenge is the board.
It will take a good raceboard and big fins, plus/minus whatever you have to do to adapt it to your needs.
