    Future Fin choices

    I'm about to order a 6'0 pnator. I'm intermediate, 6'0, about 190 pounds give or take five pounds depending on the season. More in the winter and less in the summer. I've checked alot of the posts and I've seen alot of combo fin selections. I have a controller set for my potato and a EA blackstix thruster set and an AM2 thruster set for my hellfire. I'd rather just pick up a new quad set in futures unless the controllers work well. I was thinking about either the STretch quad or the simon anderson quad. I figure if I feel like using it as a thruster I can just use my blackstix. I like the idea of a trailer fin too when it's hollow. Any recommendations regarding the stretch or the simon's?

    3rd Surf on my 6'2" Potatonator today in 3 to 5 foot surf and am loving it. This board rocks! After owning 2 Sweet Potatoes and a Dom...finally have the perfect Firewire. I'm using the Rasta's and they work really well. Nice and stiff to go along with the board. Love double pumping around the sections.

    Sycarlsbad,

    How would you describe the P'nator compared to the SP and the DOM? Just curious.

    Sorry to hi-jack the thread.

    I've surfed my 6'2" in hollow waves and it worked really well as a thruster and I've been riding quads for years.
    You've already got controllers so why not try both your EA's and your AM2's as front fins and the rear controller fins as a quad set up.
    The full controllers will probably be too much fin area.
    Costs you nothing to try.
    The upright rear controllers teamed with either of the two above front fins should give really good pivot/release when coming off the top.
    Then share your findings with us...

    I'd be trying the EA front/controller rears in smaller and/or peakier beachbreak waves and the AM2 front/controller rears in larger and/or down the line waves.
