What do you like more?

What fin set up do you like more? Twin fins, thrusters, quads? I was just wondering what everyone likes to surf with.

For me, I would say quads. I recently got into them, and they go so fast! They also turn faster and hold well in big, barreling surf. I just got my custom rusty bat tail quad. One of the best boards I have ever had. My second choice would be thrusters.

    Remember the old Rusty C-5 fin set ups? A buddy of mine had one....this stick was magic. I think it was a 5'11? Kinda eggy with a thumb tail. Best board I ever rode, handled very nice in well overhead mexican point breaks. Ahhh alas she was sacrificed to the mexican surf gods.

    Anyways, Im itchin to try out this 4 fin setups, esp on a fish, would be fun,

    Source(s): I dont shape.......but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

    out of all of the boards in my quiver i LOVE my custom 5'11 Action (thruster), i got my old boss to shape it when I was 17. ive gotten 3 years out of it so far (lucky for me), it wasnt the best board at first but after i found that sweet spot on it, i couldnt get out of the water! I loved it! I got pretty good on it and I am always testing my self with it, seeing how far I can throw the fins without eating it when i go up to the lip or how hard I can lean into my cut backs. Thanks to that board i continue to work on my skill level, eventhough I will NEVER do any ariels of any kind, i will just never be that good to even attempt an air lol (props to Silvana lima i hope she takes it this year). Its funny to see the local boys getting jealous (they say theyre not but I know they are lol) when a girl can throw perfect half circle buckets too! Plus every local knows me for that board (its hot pink), i mean after I took it to some guys face because he had my board in his hands claiming that it was his. I love it when I catch a wave and make the boys jaw drop hehe. I wouldnt trade my custom for anything. its priceless

    Ive had quads before and your right about how they ride but i still think my box thruster is the goods. I guess its really about what size your surfing and where your surfing. i mean i wouldnt go out in 10ft+ surf with a quad.
