guys the controllers are big fins though conducive of a more retro style. the result is a more pivot board, not loose and playful like the SF4s. they are two starkly different styles so don't think that the SF4s are substitutes for the Controllers or vice versa.

Hey All, use my Firewire email, [email protected] for emergency issues, not my forum inbox. However, please avoid contacting me directly with questions on choosing a board, just use the glorious forum. Cheers!
On the old forum, there was some discussion of the C-Drive fins. They look really interesting. Anybody got 'em? I'd also like to hear if anybody has tried the HI-1s (big, big fin).
Tallkook, I have run PC7s in a quad setup and really did not like them on the ElF. I only used them in chest high surf, and they made the board feel really tracky and slow. Maybe in bigger waves...

Hi Gnubee, yeah I haven't tried PC7 quads, but as a thruster it worked for me. I haven't tried Controllers either, but my Shapers Quad E's are great in the Elf.

Gnubee,
I have c drives in my 5'9 use them as a quad with the mediums fronts and QM rear and as a thruster al around mediums. I think they go really really well overall. They look pretty strange but feel pretty normal. Fast and drivey great stuff! Also
Go great in the potato

Agree although I preferd mine as a thruster - PC7's were amazing

I think i'm going to surf mine a few more times with the standard SF4's and get a bit more feel for it in different conditions. Been riding quads for so long now. Need to surf for an hour on quads then come in and change them around to thrusters to really feel the difference....

Finally managed to put together a full set of Nexus H3s. I had been running the thruster set, and the front fins with GX-Q rears in a quad setup. As a thruster the board is amazing. As a quad I found it to be fast but a tiny bit prone to tracking. With the H3 Quads in the board is pure magic. All the speed but, to borrow Nev's term, "free-er." The board now turns on a thought and I can still generate tons of speed out of it. What I really notice is how smooth the turns feel. Highly recommended.
