getting a 5'9" BP and trying to figure a quad fin configuration for it.
Im 6'3 (192cm) at 195lb (85kg) and usually go w/ a bigger fin template.
Have a 5'8" SP w/ controllers and had mix results.
help / suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.

Kod11, checkout the BP video in BP page and see what Timmy Reyes is rocking. Someone in the forum always suggest Robbers w controller rears. im thinking of doing Jordy Smith fronts w controller rear or w F4 rear.
I'm liking my sweet potato with more standard template fins. DL fronts and DS rears. Much more predictable feel in my opinion.
Elevons work great for any kind of flat rockered board and particularly good on this board

There's nothing a good surf session can't cure!
I rock mine with MRTX fronts and Q1000 rears. Perfect on my SP as well.
5.10 Futura - What else do I need?
5.5 Baked Potato - Well ok, I need this.
5.11 El Fuego - Oh ok, just one more.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, since i am getting an FCS plug BP i thought of Greg Griffin G10-s
or as simple as m7 fronts w/ GX rears...? I am gonna surf this board in NJ small surf, soo i don't know if i am over fin-ing it or under fin-ing it..?
Keep on with the good suggestions.
Thanks.
I'd love to see what fins Greg would suggest for the Potatoes. If you're in Hawaii it'd be cool to get him to make a set especially for it.
Edit: Just read you're in NJ. Would still be interested to hear his take.
6'0" - 77kg - 170lbs
502R FPT - DL front DS rears
506D RVG - Soar Powerbase DL
600Q FTJ/CBD - Soar Powerbase DL
604R FFE - Soar Powerbase DL
Hold definitely! I would go with the L rears. As far as waves go, I can tell you that those fins generate lots of speed, Tried them on East Coast mushy to medium powered waves and they work like a charm. Hollow waves yet to try

For hollower waves I rather go with a set of thruster. The AM2 would be my choice for those conditions
