hellfire SURFKITE 5.6

[jerome]

hye brian ,felix and prjweb
i want to try the thruster on the hellfire to go to reverse and 360 front and back which is difficult in quatro configuration, hellfire in quatro is very good in strong wind and good waves ,i have also try it in twins front and back which give you full speed in light wind and carve more and the tail nice sensation under you foot
now i missed a little push on the back foot in this configuration to go to transition reverse and 360 that 's why i want to have a good set of tri fin for light and medium wind and good waves

in my opinion first ,i think that litte fin like the f2 honeycomb 4.15 inch is good but may be i 'made a mistake
perhaps the AM2 teckflex 4.79 is better for what i want to practise on the hellfire ,my weight is 80 kgs

For surfing if I wanted a loose fin I'd go for something like the WCT set which is very upright and releases well which would help with reverses and 360s.
Not sure how it translates to kiteboarding though. Maybe Felix and Brian have better insight.

ok,
i have tested the F4 TECKFLEX TODAY ,and the board work well with
this board is magic ,one board and several play

light wind in twin fins,turns on the rail on turn with stance on front foot
truster for medium wind, turns on the fins and keep air also very stable on choppy condition
quad for windy day ,turn in the pocket ,stay above the white waves and control at the critical section
the best surf kite i have under my foot since 3 years in the side,side on ,on windy conditions like i practise lot here in brittanny
may be is liitle for big wave but i have no big conditions in summer ,wait winter and have a look
see you on the water

Hi all and thanks for the superb information.
Having recently acquired a HellFire 5.6, I am reviving this thread in order to gather the "lessons learned" from the initial poster(s).
This in order to avoid starting collecting fins myself ;-)
The standard fins delivered with this board are Quad Vector II's in size 375. Yet most if not all posts in this thread recommend larger fins. Have you all found this to work better? And if so, in what conditions (lighter winds? bigger waves?). Or maybe this is only beneficial to people weighing "a bit" more?
For your information, I (should) weigh 75kg and will be using the board in small waves and choppy conditions with winds ranging from not enough to over 30 knots (in other words, the Belgian coast).
and am wondering whether the supplied set of fins will cover these conditions.
