I'm looking at getting a Blackstix thruster set, but not sure which one. Anyone care to share their experiences??
I have a 5'8 spitfire and 5'4 spud. I plan to get a Baked Potato and Chubby Chedda soon.
ALOHA!!

I have EAs. Really like the look of the template. Similar to the neutral feeling DL template from Soar. I haven't tried them yet though, my new board should be here real soon. I just hope the V2 foil isn't going to feel too funky.
@core,
I saw some of your responses. It requires a little work to sift through the search haha. Thanks!
@prjwebb, EAs are definitely my favorite. I currently have the Techflex. Let me know how it goes!
ALOHA!!

any specific questions...fire away.... :)... hawaii_boi.. if you like the ea's..then at your weight try the blackstix...very whippy...after getting used to the timing of unweighting out of turns you will get slingshotted... when i get them in clean waves even my weight gets lifted and thrown out of the turns....wish i was lighter..!!

@core,
I didn't have a specific question. I just wanted to hear what people had to say about the fins mentioned. Thank you for your input!
