So I went down to my local surf shop to pick up the nubster and I picked up a fin called the 5th finner. They did not have the nubster and was wondering what you guys thought about it before I return it and buy it through channel islands. The fin has a 4" base and is 2" in height.

Stuff I owned and sold: 5'6" Sweet Potato (FCS) (Sold) / 6'0" DOM (FCS) (Sold) / 6'2" DOM (FCS) (Sold) /
I just ordered the knubster on ebay ($25 including postage) to try on my 6' Dom (goes good without it but I'll give it a go) then was reading the old forum ( hours of good reading there) when I read about the deviant fin for the thruster. Do these fins go any good? Where do you get them from and how much do they cost? I might get one and give it a go. What fins would go with it? I have G5's at the moment on my board. I also have M3s and FG-3s available from other boards. Would any of these go OK with the deviant fin?
Cheers.

after looking at PRJs CIS link think im going to order the nubster with one of the following two set ups for my 5'9 el fuego and could also use on my 5'2 potato.
GAM - G1000 set up or an AM2 - GX set up.
Any thoughts at what might potentially be best for my weight (around 70-72kgs) in a 5'9 el fuego ?
I havent really experimented much with fins but I am enjoying my quad set of medium front and QM rear C drives (for those who have tried) and the SF4 quad set seem to go alright.
Thanks for any insight. I'l probably get the GAM - G1000's unless that would be unsuitable for my weight.
I have a quad set of GAM/Q1000s and I think they're too big for you and unless the El Fuego is a very loose board they will make it too stiff. They were too stiff for my dominator.
I think AM2/GX would be better suited to your weight. I think they'll probably make the board feel more pivotal and add a touch more drive.
Jesus is coming, look busy!
