    I've started riding my potato with DL fronts and DS rears. Much more 'normal' feel. I much prefer it. I want to try k2.1 Grom fronts as rears.

    Try 5s or 7s at the fronts with K2.1 fronts as rears. I'm talking to Greg Griffin about getting some fins from him in the G10 material for the potato and he suggested trying large Simon fronts with the K2.1 rears to get a feel for sizing and then well go from there.
    He's got to be one of the top fin guys so we will see what happens.

    Yeah I think you still need some area. I've started surfing it less aggressively and am letting the board do the work and that's been working well with smaller fins. I find if I try and push the board around quicker than it wants to it looses it no matter what fins I have in there, so I've been running a smaller, more neutral set and trying to flow a bit more.
