    Love as a quad, as thruster feels like dead fish

    I got 5'8" Spitfire and it is amazingly so much fun. I only ride as a quad.
    Have given a couple of friends a wave on it and then have a lot of trouble getting it back!
    I have tried with a few setups as a thruster and every time it just feels like a dead fish...
    What is a good thruster setup for Indo only??

    FCS I like the K3 set in performance core or the MRTFX twins with the Slater rear fin.

    Yeah I have a 5'8" spitfire and I would let my friend use it some in the winter only because i was to busy, so whenever i would surf it it was a thruster because thats what my friend changed it to. I could not figure out why but when i would go for a turn it would bog down and I could not gain speed at all, so i switched it to quad and it works wonders now.... Everything flows and Ive been doing some of the biggest turns i have ever done before.

    If its working that well as a quad, don't fix what isn't broken. That's my opinion!

    Have futures
    And it does that bog down as a thruster, will try the FEA Blackstixlike.
    Best board I have ever owned by far and like it so much as a quad, don't fix what isn't broken.
    But if can get it to work as a thruster can not imagine how much fun the sf will be.
    Tanks for the help

    Hated this board as a quad, too stiff, turns where too resistive - Changed to a thruster yesterday - PEAK.jpgHad an awesome 2nd run on the spit yesterday - slighty overhead hollow long long barrells check it out - got to say very little difference in relation to the dom - pic is our local, long hollow lefts - my favourite break in the world
