Hey vow,
I personally love the stretch fins, but they are good for smaller, more playful surf AND/OR for a losses, shorter arc style.
Some people like the hold, drive and speed of larger area fins. My preferences have me going out almost exclusively on thrusters in bigger surf so the loose, playful SF4s are the best bet for me in a quad set.
Cheers

Stretch fins...Well that contradicts my own personal theory. You know what they say Different strokes give you different STOKES.

By and large I use the same fins most of the time on the "Occy principle".
