    Potatonator: recommended quad fin sets

    Has anyone figured out the best quad fin set for the Potatonator or is their a recommendation? I'll be getting the 6'2".

    hey sy, I am riding the SF4s but have a set of Rasta quads on order, but I ride a 506.

    I think on the 602 you could really like the Controllers too but it depends on what fin system you are getting....

    do you have a fin preference? Also what do you weigh?

    Cheers!

    I have a 508 Potatonator on order in Futures at my weight do you think the Controller fins would be too big a fin for me?

    I have the 5 Fin Simon Anderson set as well that i have been using in my 508 Dominator

    Thanks

    You can get Contollers style quads for FCS set ups from Indo fins. Google indo fins or look on ebay.

    I love the FCS Rusty R2s, they give you drive, speed and tight little arcs, so far they've worked well in both the dom and my hellfire.

    Moving forward or just spinning faster?

    Does any one have any feedback on the TC Aqualine quad set up ?
    Going to give them a try this weekend, although the swell might be on the small side and more suited to the AM2 thruster set up.

    Controllers definitely not too big on the 508. lots of folks are loving them in boards of similar size/volume?

    Cheers!

    Tried the Indo Fins Controllers this morning on my 5'8" PNator thanks to my new fin sponsor Buzzy!
    Thanks Buzzy your a good guy!
    The board went unreal!! Very fast and responsive. Surf was a clean 1-2ft with the odd shoulder high but still not a lot of power.
    If I can say one little negative was I did miss the middle fin of a thruster when coming off the top from a reo or back around from a roundhouse....yes that's right a roundhouse! This little board was all over it.

    Well that was my last surf for a couple of months and it was a good one to finish on!
