    SA4 - Simon Anderson

    Outline: Simon Anderson

    Front Fins: FSA4

    Height: 4.63 in, 11.80 cm
    Base: 4.51 in, 11.50 cm
    Area: 15.80 sq in, 40.10 sq cm

    Rear Fins: FSA4 Quad Rear

    Height: 4.36 in, 11.10 cm
    Base: 4.14 in, 10.50 cm
    Area: 13.24 sq in, 33.60 sq cm

    Base Depth: 1/2 in. only

    A template designed for smaller surfers looking for hold and power in the large category. The large base allows you to create your own speed while the large tip helps you stay on rail. Riding the quad rears instead of the center fin will add drive and hold.

    he folks!! AM2s and SA fins are two of the larger fins templates that are meant to enhance a performance "carving" style. If i were someone interested in "looseness" or "slide" i would get after a different fin. These are performance fins meant to stay engaged in the wave. Fast and powerful....

    Cheers and hope this helps!

    Get the AM-2's (5 fin) 4.79f/4.0 Quadrear /or 4.49 tricenter. Its a stiffer fin that youll want in larger powerful surf head high to 1.5X head high+
    and the Rusty (5 fin) 4.54f/3.85 Quad rear/ or 4.54 triCenter for the waist to Head high plus
    You can mix and match the rears depending on the face steepness and size.

    AM-2 shown with front and center fin only, I do not have the quad rears. My Timstamps 4.0 rears fill that gap.

    Rusty shown with the front and rears


    Forget the Stretch quad its a weird fin set IMO, waste of money for a small front 4.38 with too much hold on the rear fin 4.0, maybe for a fish that goes just straight turn down the line on mushy waves. At your weight i would not ride anything smaller than a 4.45 front

    If you can throw a third set, go for the SA-4's 4.63 front with huge 4.36 rears for that rare hollow fast standup barrel, your not going to slide around on the Simons
