    i'd steer clear of the stretch quads. they make the board feel a bit too loose, but not in a good way, almost like a twin fin. felt like i had to nurse my turns a bit too much with the stretch fins or the fins would slide out. have the rusty 5 fin set and it's much better. if you still want the stretch fins despite this warning, i'll sell you mine for a heavily reduced price, they've only been surfed 2 times, once in my 5'2 SP (made it feel finless) and once in my 5'4 PN (made it feel close to finless).

    Got to surf the bard this weekend, loved it. Had on old set of futures thrusters on it but still super fast and turned really well, got into waves far easier than my old shortboard too.

    You could buy the whole set or buy the fronts and the rear separately. Make sure if you do so, to get the small rear fins. Got those at the beginning, lost one of them and ordered a new one, but they gave me the large ones and does not feel quite the same at all. I believe that the front ones only come in Medium
