I have just finished a 8'10 quad with FCS plugs.
I am not sure what fins to put in as i am usually riding thruster setups in my previous SUP boards.
Anyone got any suggestions??

IMO
The simon andersons are good but they work better with the large fronts and the meduim rears. Stretch have come out in new core material, they are good in plastic so should be better in core. So Id suggest if you want safe, go simon larges. If you want loose, go the new stretches.

you say that like it's a bad thing- large simons and if that's not enough, get two back fins of the large simon thruster set to beef it up a bit more. you can order them just as 2 fins, you don't have to buy two whole thruster sets to get em. the boardroom at the goldie are very helpful with this kinda thing. i use this on the sb 7' 2', more to steady the little ###### up
cheers

hi, imo there are way to many variables to say any combo is right. yep, those core stretches look the goods

Show us pics Wazza......in my 8-11 (with futures) I run the AM2's front and back , I did have T1's in the front but it was too much for the little board. I know these aren't FSC fins but it will give a size reference.I tend to over fin my boards as I'm pretty heavy on the back foot.

SORRY Chaps, i have the quad thing so bad that I think everybody else is off their rocker. Its good on tow boards, surfboards, sup, kite and even windsurfing boards (apparently, but I havent tried one). I must confess, I own one twinfin surfboard also..........

robbo and piros are only part converted, I am the pope!
