Was never a believer in the quad's for my son because I think old school Simon Anderson until recently we have been experimenting with the Futures designed by Paddle Surf Hawaii. I can say from watching my son these fins are good and really are going to open up some new moves. If you want to experiment give um a try. Here is a clip and more to follow.

Hey Byron,

I love my Simon Andersons in my Starboard Pocket Rocket, can you please explain the differences at kook level

And is there anything equivalent or at least similar in FCS?

Buy that boy some bigger fins.. Did you see how it spun out on that turn.. .. Just kidding.. .. I'm sure Noah loves doing that.

I know my friend Paul loves his fin set-up.. Here's a pic.

Hey Johnathan,

I have tried the quads to and the speed factor is great. You can outrun sections that have closed out to get to an open face. You can carve a cutback or slide the tail. I guess what I am trying to say is the accelerator pedal is faster. As far as FCS setup I am not sure or fimiliar with their different fins. Good luck and have some funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

Yes there is. Q-1 as shown on my blog. ncpaddlesurfer.blogspot.com/2010/02/q-1-fcs-same-as-controllerpsh-trailer.html

I have them on my 8'10 Hokua.

PSH's quad fin setup was derived from the Futures Controller set, which was a big hit with sub vector owners. When I put the Controllers on other boards they did not work. They stiffened it up. The front fins were the evil ones in the Controller set. Replace the fronts with traditional fins and keep the rear pointer style fin and the magic is found.

Can get as an FCS set called the Q-7Q1s, this has M7 side/front and the Q-1 centre/rear.

Shapers fins also have the SV's which are similar to controller centers.

Nc surfer 100% agree. Experiment with the sides but keep the rears.
