Fritzkat,
I have been riding the k2.1's and the Future equivalent is the WCT, I believe. I am 6'3 185-190 so you and I are pretty close in size. My DOM is a 6'2" and I love that board with that fin set-up. Best board I have had in years.

i think each site advertises the physical size of their fins so you can compare that way??

I have not tried the WCT yet, WCT is an upright fin, looser enabeling a tighter turn, how do you find the drive off that fin set, is it enough for smaller under shoulder high or weaker wave waves, or do you have another set you switch to ?

A good set for waves that have their own consistent down the line speed I expect. Also for lighter folk and guys who drive a lot from the front foot and rail rather than fins maybe.
Remember most of the WCT guys are probably under 160lbs and have precision technique.
anyone try the

Just tried my 6-4 DOM rf with a fin combo as a QUAD . AM-2 (4.79 fronts) Rusty 5fin Quad 3.85 rears. On a reef break, shoulder to head hi, (thats overhead to you young chipmunks out there) I liked it better than the all Rusty 5 quad set up, with more drive and pivot when I asked for it. Still looking for a bigger day to test. But now my 6-3 Activator is here I will abstain from riding the dominator for a while until I figure the Activators sweet spots.
