Hey Core, What size VG did you go with... Im the same stats basically and have the 54 SP and 62 Bourez thin also. Just curious as to what you got, and how you're liking it(and fin choices). Leaning towards the 56, but a 57 would be PERFECT!! Oh well... Thanks!

Thanks, I feel they will run great once we get some waves...

Checked out your quiver cuttlefish, the AMT fronts with controller rears on my SP sound like a great idea! How do they run on your BP?

Ive run my DM with the controller trailers and SA4's. It took some of the bulk of those fins out and made it a bit more pivot-y.

Id say you can mess around with different fins and find something fun

Clearly Im not cool enough yet to private message, so email me [email protected]

Thanks!

Not sure how... [email protected] leave a number Ill call you

Thanks!

Selling a 6'2 HF FST w/ Futures. Mint. Let me know if youre interested. I live in San Diego

Yeah, a little bit. Im 6'1, 190 LBS, I started on the 5'6 but the 5'4 was perfect.

Got rid of it in anticipation of the baked potato, but was unaware that it wasnt being done in FST, DEALBREAKER!

Got to ride a friends 5'2 the other day in waist high beach break. Felt super fun but not something Id want. Way too skatey.

Thanks though!!

Hey, I live in San Diego. Have a 511 Fuego FST with fcs for sale. Let me know...

NH

Id go with the simon anderson quad, theyre a really big fin with lots of drive and great turning capability. You can also buy the 5 fin setup so you can ride it as a thruster when its bigger

Ive been riding the SA as a quad, LOVE it. On a 5'10 spitfire though... Really nice fins, and actually snapped one of the trailers, if anyone has an extra laying around Ill pay for it!

Ive had both boards. 6' Stealth and 5'8 Dom. Ended up keeping the Dom as it was just easier to surf in everyday conditions. The Stealth sort of liked better waves and was real fun in good waves, but around here thats not too often. Buy accordingly...

Yeah, its hard to imagine without trailers, but I guess once this weather passes I think Mitch's has one of those Future tree fins right? Hopefully I can just test some and Ill let you guys know how it went...

Thanks

Would it:

> allow for more stable, agressive turning?
> provide more grip/control in more punchy/steeper waves?
> provide more drive?
> look cool? : )
> or could it completely ruin the dynamics of the board?

In the last case, I am tempted to go ahead anyway with getting a local shaper to add an extra fin box (Futures) and if it doesn't work, fill it with a box filler. I'd be worried about ruining the V in the tail though.

If it could work, what would be the most optimal position?

> Inline with the rear fins?
> Slightly behind the rear fins?
> Slightly in front of the rear fins?

I got my Potato from Bird down here in San Diego. He had Roper put in that 5th fin on his, a 5'4 I think. Bird swore by it. He said it provided more stability and had surfed it "double overhead." Not sure about that, but whatever.

His was placed slightly behind the rear fins, and was FCS so he had the option to move it up also, which would have put it sort of even with the rear fins I think.

I personally like the feeling of the SP being able to slide the fins out when you want to, I think the 5th fin would eliminate that option.

Just my opinion

Thanks guys!
