    What futures fins for a Dominator 6' 8"

    I just purchased a 6' 8" Dominator FST with the Futures set up.

    What fins do you reccomend for Intermediate (surf 3-5 times a week), 225lbs, 42 y.o., I will surf local San Diego beach break 3-6 ft with this board.

    Your input would be appreciated
    Thanks!

    Quad or thruster?
    The Rusty or Simon 5 fin sets are good places to start.

    AM-2 five fin set. AM-2's for thruster or AM-2s for Quad... you might want to try the Rusty 5 fin for looser feel set also or the SA-4's dont go any smaller. I love running the Quads in these Dominator style Hibreds
    (Dominator tails morphed >SPIT< >Activator<, > Potatonator<
    I own the Activator and the Dominator, I dont ride trifins in them any more, you lose the drive meant for the board. I might try a stubby in the back fin.

    I love the Solus on my 6'6". I also like using the Solus in the front and a Pancho in the rear.

    yeah i think FCS still has a strangle hold on the market but i guarantee Futures is making a steady climb at claiming a share
