sick one. yeah there is mixed use here in the states, quad vs. thruster, but i will say the board is SO FAST so if you like the feel of a thruster, ride it that way, because you don't need the speed of a quad to fly. If however, you like quads in general, you have to try it that way.
Cheers!

Hey All, use my Firewire email, [email protected] for emergency issues, not my forum inbox. However, please avoid contacting me directly with questions on choosing a board, just use the glorious forum. Cheers!
I just recently got myself the 5'6" VG, I'm 5'11" and 88kg. Amazing fun, I'm loving this little package of the turning of a HPS but so much extra speed to use at all times.
I've been favoring the thruster setup, as Chris said its a very fast package before even taking fins into account.
My opinion on quads vs thruster would be: If you want to surf tight to the pocket more, I'd suggest thruster due to the on-the-point pivot it can achieve. I've been running FCS PC3's and they're just a tad too small, so I'll probably find perfection in K2.1 fronts and PC3 middle for overhead waves.
Quad will be blindingly fast, but I think with so much concave and no vee out the tail it'll feel like it needs to be tipped over quite far before it turns first. Again, with the right fins I'm sure it could still surf tight to the pocket, but the turns will need to be preempted a little more and quick corrections might be a little slower/harder. My own estimate for fins as a quad would be PC3 or TC-Aqualine fronts and either MR-TX or G1000 rears.
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!
already spoke to SDsurf, but for other readers, i've been put on the 506... should be here sometime soon... regular viewers will know that i HATE EVERYTHING but HP shooters so this will be interesting, but then again, i made the hellfire my mistress..!!.. after this foray i will be re-sorting my HP board.. time to get twitchy again..!!.. will play around with proV-1's and might even fall back onto a replacement 602 x 18 3/4 flexy... loved that thing...
