Nice Toobz! The 6'8 looks really good. What fins are you thinking?
The tail is pretty narrow, and foiled on mine which makes me feel like the right fin choice matters more.
I've had good luck with the EA control quads ( they have single foil rears, which I usually like). And on smaller days, with NVS AIPA horseman fins I had ( seem pretty much same size as the EA's just holding them next to each other, but have less area). I may try the EA's fronts with the aipa rears next just to experiment. I also have a set of pyzel padillac fins, that I use in my padillac, but havent tried em in the mini, as I just assumed the double foiled rears of that set may slow the mini- padi down a bit, as Im not using it in as large of waves as the actual padillac. I may be totally wrong on that, and that's probably my next try. Holding the pyzel padillac fins next to the EA's, they seem pretty similar with some minor differences, and of course double vs single foil rears.
FWIW, I called the Haleiwa shop this past weekend to ask what they've been liking fins wise in the mini-padi. Jon ( not pyzel) there, who is great, said he's been playing with fins in his mini-padi and has been really liking the Pyzel Neutral futures fins as a quad.
Curious what you guys end up liking fins wise, and if @Pyzelsurfboards had thoughts and fin recommendations.
Thanks
