Looking for fin suggestions for a 6'2" Flyer. I've been using the Vector 467's with the 425 hatchet and I am looking for something that would give me a different feel. I ride beachbreaks and am 6'0" and 185-190 lbs so I would need something in a medium or large template.

Have you tried the go to fins the Am1's <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" /> I liked them to tighten up my robber on bigger steeper days <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wave2.gif" alt="" />
I'm around your size, have ridden the AM's, Panchos, Rusty's, and several other 'big guy' Future fins. My favorite is Simon Anderson's design in size L - Future SA3 RTM. Great all purpose fin for the bigger bloke, and just hauls ass in walled up beachbreak.
Tokoros. A little lighter then you and use them as a step up fin.
Still East Coast waves, you can prob get away with a med sized template most of the time like the YU if you want to looser feel?

this! the large-size merrick template is my go-to fin for thrusters.
the pancho fin could work, but you might want to pair it w/ a smaller center fin, like an f4 or something.
i recently demoed, & kinda liked, the mb2.
Try the Roberts fins. Better drive than the AM2s and the Roberts have a quicker release because they are more upright.
eastern,
I think we're about matched in size.
Ive tried just about every L fin set futures has to offer.
You have to consider what board your gonna throw these in?
Thruster:
For wider tails the AM2 or Roberts with a small center trailer performs the best for me. They have a good amount of rake/base for drive and alot of depth with a smaller tip for release and pivot.
This actually would be my go to set-up for any board. Ive tried TP1 and SA4's. They lack drive and speed for me. I also tried Techflex...garbage.
Am2's or Roberts are extremely close in template and dims. Roberts fins have a mild V2 where AM2 are flat foil.
I like inside foil the best. Gives extra lift and something to push off of.
Best bet for thruster Get L fronts and considerably flexy smaller trailer. Quad rears, True ames rears 80/20 are the best. Or some 400's either composite or rtm.
Another option would be Hayden Shapes V2.
All the best
