I got hold of some demo Solus and AM2 quads to try 6'2" MD this weekend.
I've seen some positive feedback on the AM2's thruster set so assume the quad set will be good to try but I haven't seen much feedback on the Solus fins.
Can anyone tell me what they go like because the are an unusual fin set compared to what I am used to.
Thanks!

Sorry guys!!! been quite busy lately .Originally Posted by core personal training
Let see the SOLUS so far is may favourite set of thruster. The magic about this set is the sort of hatchet center fin which makes the board very lively. I believe they have a bit extra cant in them giving the board a bit extra lift as speed increases and the laid back template will give you quite some drive. Call me crazy but love these in the potatonator

Now..Iggy will loose his shit when I say this but...I think they are crap. I bought a set ...and while its not Iggys fault...I was influenced somewhat by his froth on the fins...I tried them and tried them but they felt like a twinny to me. Maybe I didnt have the right boards for them but I eventually sold them...so...I am not a fan.
I reckon we have similar taste in fins. I don't get on with many of the fancy fins. Always seem to prefer the simple more neutral sets.
Not a problem FW - Fan
I do really enjoy those fins and the loosen and tighten the arc on the small to medium size waves. When it gets bigger I rather have something with a bit more hold like the AM2's. Now the Jordy's
It all has to do with the type of waves and the style of surfing I guess.
Hey FW - Fan in which board did you try the fins on?

On a couple of Josh Dowlings and the Sub Schorcher....very different boards and very ordinary results in both. Actually I think I tried them in the HF as well but cant remember exactly...which say a lot about how I must have felt about them.
