stoked Erling. glad you have a new sled.

soooo in my opinion, the 508 Spitfire should have a more versatile fin than the AM-2 or the K-3s. Those have a lot of sweep and your hybrid wants to be snappy and loose, well in my opinion. I would say have a look at the K2.1s, the JW-1s and the SF4s as well. They are fins with a little less sweep, fast but still loose...

Cheers!

Well, the JW-1s seems quite similar to the PC5, and with at smaller center... so yes I guess it will be loose, but I think the drive and speed in softer waves will be less..... When comparing the JW-1 to the AM-2 the template is quite similar, but the AM-2 have a bit more base and tip.... they both have a smaller center fin.

Think I'll test the PC5, and if they lack drive/speed I'll try the PC7 with a PC5 center... and if that works ok I'll get the K3 or AM-2. If the PC5 work well or feel too stiff I might consider the JW-1s. Want to keep the PC5s in my Alternator, swapping them around from board to board takes to much time ;) But then again I might end up putting the K3s or AM-2s in the Alternator and keep the PC5 in the Spitfire..... HA! too many options!;)

A loose board is always fun, but I hate not having drive and getting the speed I want. The SF4 will probably work good as well, and I'll try them out too, but it seems like most people like the spitfire as a thruster, so I'll try to find the setup that works for me :) the PC SF4s is reserved for the Sweet Potato anyways ;)

JW-1 center:
Base: 4.29" / 109mm
Depth: 4.50" / 114mm
Area: 14.06"˛ / 9070 mm˛

AM-2 center:
Base: 4.34" / 110mm
Depth: 4.41" / 112mm
Area: 13.72"˛ / 8852mm˛

I think the H2 quads or the H3 are goimg to give you some fun. I remember having them on my Dominator and they made my board pretty loose

Oh no, no more options! ;)
I did like the SF4 in my dominator as well, but only in crappy conditions... too much speed in better waves and had a hard time controlling the board and digging the rail/tail in. Probably pilot error, but that was how it felt for me.

Have a look at this video: I think it looks like he surfs better with the AM-2, looks like has more pivot but still keeps the speed.. ?

Anyway.... internet surfing is not as fun as surfing waves... hope there'll be some good surf soon....

true erring, i must say, though, that I like to try stuff in addition, and at least in my own experience, on smaller waves with a hybrid, I like looser, more playful fins.

The Solus, love the hatchet, gives it a nice little loose touch to the board

yeah good call. the solus fins are cool...retro feeling with a dash of progression.

i tried the g-am pc fins this week on my dom and they went really well.. love the drive off those fins and they help to carry speed through the turns.. a lot of pros ride the g-am on there hybrid types

Stretch quads are amazing on a SF. Love them in mine.

Yessir!

Been trying the SF4 GF fins that came with the board, but for some reason it I just didn't like it that much... just got the PC K3s, and I really like them. Not as drivey as a quad, but if the waves are weak I'll be on my SP. The K3s also release quite well, all in all a great thruster set for my 5'8 Spitfire :)

Been using my potato in all conditions lately, a bit too much actually... but now with the right fins the spitfire finally work like I want it to and will be used a lot more in the future :D

Yeah, big fan of those K3s in the Spitfire. Try throwing in the SF4 quad rears with the K3 fronts. Could be magic... could suck, but worth a try!

always worth a try!
