Love as a quad, as thruster feels like dead fish

[Goanna]

very, very nice

Hated this board as a quad, too stiff, turns where too resistive ...

there are definitely some stiff quad fins but there are some loose ones too, which ones did you use?

Slowman - I used the Standard SF4's that come with the board - I find the sweet potato fine as a quad (just as well as there no other option) but the dominator or spitfire as a quad i dont get on with.

so let me know please, which thruster fins are you using???

I would tell you my quad setup BUT i am 2 weeks away from my favorite board. and being 48yrs do not have a memory anymore

Ireland, interesting, well that sinks my theory that bigger/heavier surfers suit quads better. Both you and Core feel that you lose too much looseness whereas my experience is nothing like that. I tried some SF4s in a different quad board (Stretch F4) and really didn't like them much though they were the plastic ones (never found one I like yet in plastic) and they were loose but had no drive at all. Ended up I didn't really like that board much either and went back to my thruster.

I live in Bali and currently working offshore in Trinidad.
Will be back in Bali in 2 weeks and will check the futures set up I have as a quad.
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.
This board is an indo must have

I am 5'6" 80kg 48yrs intermediate surfer
think of buying 6'0" Hellfire and 6'5" HellRazor


please see below photo, somewhere in indo

That's the call!!! I'm 84Kgs and have a 6'0" hellfire and find it borderline over volumed for me!!!
Buddy that shot is pure perfection

secret spot
nobody out
That was the set of the day, steamrolled thru. Trimaran is a nice way to go surfing

What about the Hellrazor 6'5" as the stepup?

[iggy]

6'3"?

[Slowman]

6'3"?

My vote too, if you are on a 6'0 HF.
