Future Fins

[STC67]

Yeah ST, Buzzy gave me some Indo Fins Controllers copy and they went great in the PN. Mine is 5'8" and I would recommend giving them a go for sure. Only small issue was I did miss the middle fin of a thruster for that bit of hold when coming out of a turn but it wasn't a biggy and would be something I would get used to anyway. Personally I think the Controllers are a "Must Try" in this board.

Yep pick up some Controllers today. I want to try them in both the Pnator and the Elf as Nev was always recommending them.

I'm 6'0'' and 160 lbs, i just bought a 5'8'' patatonator with future fin boxes. I was wondering what type/size fin i should buy (i was recommended the Rusty R1 5-fin)

Any specific reason you went with the 5,8 over the 5,6? ..I'm the same height as you and just a few pounds lighter (though always in a full winter suit), and pretty stuck as to what size to go for. Would be interested to see how you found the 5,8. Cheers!

During the last couple of months, I tried the PNator with different setups and I love the versatility of the board using different fins! I used a quad setup for steep waves up to 6ft (although in this occasion I went back to the car to grab the Hellrazor instead!) and I didn't quite like the S4A (too big, too drivey) but the Rastas are much better in those small (up to 4ft), beach breaks, steep/barrelling/closing-out waves where you want a good hold on the take off, a good speed to stay on the green face as long as possible and still being able to finish it off with a quick snap or cut-back.
On small, gentle/mellow waves with a good open face, I used the Machados but the F4 are a must! Loosy and fast as you wish, you can go up and down the waves, snaps everywhere, they're so much fun!
I will try soon a quad setup with the fronts F4 with the trailers from the Rastas. It should be a good mix!
