Hello all,
I just got the 5'8" potato-nator and was wanting to know a good quad fin setup. I usually dont ride quads but want to start on this board, i weigh 145lbs and am 5'6". The board has future fin setup i am surfing in North Carolina so most of the time the waves here all small and mushy. We do good days every so often.

ALOHA!!

Thanks for the help might see if i can try and demo some of those fins. Have any of you tried out that surfboardwarehouse.com? I guess for 10 bucks a month you can demo as many fins as you want, kinda like netflix for surfers. Do the Rastas and controllers have pretty good stabilty? I know some fins on quads can get pretty lose on bigger waves. Thanks again

If you can beg borrow or steal to get a set of Elevons..do it. They are THE best fins IMO for that board...dont ask me why thought...cause I have no clue.

What set would work for a truster setup in the p-nator?
At:
83kg
3 to 5 foot waves
All conditions
Progressing to intermidiate ability

Cuttle you were/are surfing your p-nator as a truster right?

Something large. Maybe the large Simon set? I think cuttlefish goes the the Merrick twin (FAM?) and trailer set.

87Kgs and have the SOLUS on mine, love those fins up to chest high, for anything over that I go for the AM2, otherwise the board squirts out of the bottom turns and it does not give me enough drive while doing roundhouses
