    I tried the recommended quad setup and it worked ok, then changed the front fins and that made a big big difference(cannot remember the fins).
    Now the 5'8" spit as a quad is the fastest,loosest and most fun board I have ever ridden.
    BUT have not been able to get it going as a thruster, it just gets to the bottom and stops/bogs. And then you cop it.
    Will invest in some more thruster fins, but love is so much as a quad does not matter.
    Put in some FAMT (robber) fins which have larger side fins and a smaller trailer and you'll get the drive to keep powering through your turns.
    If you like them you can buy another trailer fin and run it as a quad too.
    While we're at it, a thruster set up will need more back foot pressure than a quad. Basic I know but I'd be looking at your feet to make sure you're not standing too far forward (especially easy to do on your backhand).
