    Just my two-bob in regards to fins...

    I'm on a 5'6" Spitfire, I currently have a set of new quad Elevons in, which seem pretty good. Had this setup out in 6ft+ solid beach breaks and they held very well. They also kind of smoothed the ride out, wasn't doing much turning though on the 5'6". I think they work better at speed as I get a bit of tail slide when in small punchy surf, nothing major, pretty fun if anything. Don't drive as well as the Rusty's below but that could just be me.

    Also use the Rusty 5 fins as a quad, which I think I will swap back to next surf. Good hold and fun to drive (drive better as a quad). Might have to get a Deviant fin and try with this setup. Have used them as a thruster setup but don't seem to be as fun, not as fast.

    Also tried the Controllers once, which I leave on the Potato usually, as previously mentioned they are quite restricting so I wouldn't suggest going there.

    Hope that helps : )
