hey guys, i've just picked up a 2016 naish hokua 7'10 x32. it's my second board - stepping down from an 8'10 mana, which i lately find a bit unresponsive and boaty especially in the steeper beach breaks.
the x32 is set up as a thruster. i read somewhere that it performs far better as a quad.
does anyone have experience with this board running 3 and 4 fins? do i stick with the thruster? if not, what are the recommended quads to fit to this board? i don't want to fork out for a set of quads unnecessarily...
i'm 5'10, 75kg and mostly ride the sunny coast open beaches. looking to carve more than race down the line.
Yep. The x32 's run better as a quad I found . just get yourself a couple of rears ....I used 7 and 3 . you may like smaller being lighter, you sure can throw them around more As a quad ,and gives them a nicer drive .
Definitely a quad setup for all the x32s. I've ridden them all and the quad makes them come to life. I owned the 8'8" and shapers carbon flare quads were a perfect match
Wide tails equals quads for sure. Try putting quite small rears in for a change . Definitely faster down the line which gives you the speed for your turns
