    yeah the Solus fins with the leading side bites and a quad trailing set is a favorite in house here as well...

    Bigger potatoes require bigger fins IMO.
    I tried the Solus with quad trailer on my potato and it felt kinda slow. It almost feels like the V foil on the fins is countering the double concave on the bottom.

    The best setup so far that I've tried are Jordy L front with any rear trailer bigger than 4" If Large is too big for you, Futures will have S and M Jordys out soon!

    ALOHA!!
