    Stretch quads are amazing on a SF. Love them in mine.

    Been trying the SF4 GF fins that came with the board, but for some reason it I just didn't like it that much... just got the PC K3s, and I really like them. Not as drivey as a quad, but if the waves are weak I'll be on my SP. The K3s also release quite well, all in all a great thruster set for my 5'8 Spitfire :)

    Been using my potato in all conditions lately, a bit too much actually... but now with the right fins the spitfire finally work like I want it to and will be used a lot more in the future :D

    Yeah, big fan of those K3s in the Spitfire. Try throwing in the SF4 quad rears with the K3 fronts. Could be magic... could suck, but worth a try!

    As far as thruster goes I realy like the Solus, good release off tghe top yet good drive.
    The WCT are really good for those who like the loose feeling
    The Clay Marzos look very interesting as well
    For quads the V2F4 or the Elevons

    I like the ride my SpitFire as a tri mostly. My favorite fins are the Rusty R2s. I think that they make the board ride closer to a high performance thruster.

    I recently went on a surf trip to Nicaragua where we scored overhead beach break barrels for almost a week straight. In those conditions I found the Stretch quad setup to work the best, enabling the board to take off deep, turn mid face, and really drive deep from behind the peak.
