Which Quad Fin Set for my new 5'6" Hellfire

[buckjay]

I have a new 5'6" hellfire on the way and its not coming with any fins... any recommendations?

I'm a little over 6'.. around 180lbs. It's going to be my first surfboard. I've snowboarded all my life, ridden twin tips and all my friends are switching to surfboards so I figure this is a good way to start.

Mainly 15-25mph winds (up to 40 here sometimes when its nuking).. definitely gets kinda choppy. Will be ridden in small waves to a few feet over head.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Congrats on your new ride. I'm sure you'll love it. If you can spring for a 5 fin set that's a great way to go for the Hellfire. Set up the board as a quad for light wind and you'll be stoked. For windier days or steep faced waves go to a tri fin configuration. Personally I like the Techflex fins. They're light and strong (the honeycombs can snap if pushed hard).

Here's a link to that AM2 set that is great. The Mulcoy's are also fabulous.

Hey there I have a set of AM2's Techflex if you want them. I have used them a few times and are in great shape. Send me a PM.
