What are people's experiences with this set up? I'm a 90kg intermediate with a thruster preference but wanting to give quads a go. I use and like PC7s in a thruster set up. They'd be for use in a Dom.

Thats the perfect set up for a dom my first firewire was a 6'4" Dom with that fin set up and it was great in all conditions from 1-4ft. I now use a future set up in my SP & HF and still have the PC7/G-XQ gathering dust.

yeah it would likely work. it will be a slightly more drawn out quad sensation vs a more upright, free quad set like the popular SF4s. Ride that set up in bigger steeper surf and I think you'll really like. Think more power and flow.

I second what Chris says. I have a set that I have tried in my El Fuego and in smaller, mushier surf they turn the board into a bit of a pig. In that stuff they felt like they lacked drive and pivot. Not a great combo for my tastes. I can see where in bigger steeper waves they would go well though.
Me: 6'6" (198cm), 195lbs (88.5 kg), Intermediate surfer (on a good day)
My Boards: 6'3" El Fuego (FST, FCS), 7'0" CI MBM Step -up
I have used FG7s (they'd be called UL7s now) with GXQs on a Stretch F4 quad surfboard and they went well...the extra flex makes a difference, though I found on other boards they seemed to have less drive.

Jesus is coming, look busy!
Moving forward or just spinning faster? 6'0 90kg

6'0 FST Spitfire 34.9L FCS PC R2 quad + stabiliser
6'2 FST Jacknife 33.3L FCS PC quad front/rear TC Redlines/TC Aqualines
6'2 FST Hellfire 33.7L FCS PC R2 quad + stabiliser (x 2, yes 1 here, 1 there!)
6'4 FST Alternator 34.?L FCS PG7
6'5 FST Hellrazor 33.5L FCS R2 quad + stabiliser
6'7 FST Hellrazor 36.5L FCS R2 thruster
Finally surfed the GXQ's with the PC7's today. It was small surf and I didn't find them to be stiff at all; to the contrary I found them to be loose and fast. I think they've now extended the bottom range of my Dom.
more evidence that the fin argument is so subjective. Being a front footed or back footed surfer can have a major impact on whether a fin feels loose or stiff....
