    I reckon the MRTFX and trailer would be fun in the El Fuego. Especially if you're a fan of that twin feeling.

        I was thinking about trying the MRTFX. I also want a matching set of trailers for the Nexus H3s up front (which are fantastic in the ElF). I think the trailers might add that little bit of pivot and drive that the GXQ rears lack. Option #3 is the indofins Control-q, which is the same shape as the Futures Controller, only in FCS.

          Did I read on and old forum where Nev recommended Controllers. Would this be only on smaller models?

            Yeah Nev said the Controllers turned his El Fuego into a Super El Fuego.

              Sorry prjwebb but is that "Yeah" only for smaller boards or "Yeah" the Controllers go really well?

              I have a vested interst now. :)

                That was on the 5'11. I dunno about bigger ones but it's quite a bit of fin area so could work well. Fin Tree would be a good idea if you can test first.

                  Hey STC, I've found the bigger the fins the better my 6'5 Elf goes. I didn't like the SF4s at all, just felt like you really had to work the board to get it going. I'm now running Shapers Quad-E's and the board just came to life. I reckon Controllers would be good too if you have Futures or you can get copies from Indo Fins for FCS. The Elf also goes well with PC7's in the thruster setup.

                    Thanks TK. Mine is Futures. I have some JC1's I'm going to try, then get some Controllers if/when I get it dialled in a bit more.

                      guys the controllers are big fins though conducive of a more retro style. the result is a more pivot board, not loose and playful like the SF4s. they are two starkly different styles so don't think that the SF4s are substitutes for the Controllers or vice versa.

                      Cheers!

                        On the old forum, there was some discussion of the C-Drive fins. They look really interesting. Anybody got 'em? I'd also like to hear if anybody has tried the HI-1s (big, big fin).

                        Tallkook, I have run PC7s in a quad setup and really did not like them on the ElF. I only used them in chest high surf, and they made the board feel really tracky and slow. Maybe in bigger waves...

                            Hi Gnubee, yeah I haven't tried PC7 quads, but as a thruster it worked for me. I haven't tried Controllers either, but my Shapers Quad E's are great in the Elf.

                              Gnubee,
                              I have c drives in my 5'9 use them as a quad with the mediums fronts and QM rear and as a thruster al around mediums. I think they go really really well overall. They look pretty strange but feel pretty normal. Fast and drivey great stuff! Also
                              Go great in the potato
