Favorite Twin + Trailer setup for larger waves?

Imagine how much money a fin company would make working with this mountain biker !!!
I'm just looking for a bit more speed and to spice things up a bit when waves are large, but not necessarily critical.
The thing is I don't really know exactly which boards yet. I'm looking at a Patterson Twinner, a Mini Ghost, an Astro Pop, my Insanity, etc.
There is a somewhat limited selection of fins in Indo so when I go back to the states I want to stock up. I'm looking for suggestions so I can buy a few sets, bring 'em back and have a go.
I've had good success with the Merrick twin + trailer set in boards with a more "thruster" like fin cluster placing. I've also had success with the T1's (with trailer) in double-overhead+ surf on one particular board.
Honestly, though, for bigger waves, I think thrusters or quads are the best choice 99%+ of the time.

If you have a number of twin sets already than I would say just grab a few different sized trailers to play around with. If there is twin sets you already like than you can just take a few trailers with you and start small switching them out til you get what your looking for. I would dial the fronts in first if your boxes are placed as a twin, than experiment with the stabilizer after to get what your looking for. This is what Akila suggested to me and I learned a good bit from experimenting this way.
For what its worth though, my two favorite twin+trailer setups are the Aipa glass fronts w/NVS trailer (twin placed boxes) https://www.surfnvs.com/products/stabilizer-apex and the Machado twin +trailer setup in a thruster box placement
Both worked well for me in groveler/dd boards in small/average conditions. I run solid Gemini's on my townsend twin in larger surf/no trailer and got a good speed bump from my wider diamond tail versus my smaller round pin while sacrificing a little stability.

I had an MR Super Twin that came alive once it got head high. Wish I still had it.
Are you talking FCS? If so, get a plastic trailer...MRTFX or similar and cut the front tab off. Put the remaining tab in the front trailer slot and see if that goes better. then you can whittle one out of some old fibreglass set forward on both tab if you want.
I do this to ride standard thrusters as twin plus trailer. They are too stiff otherwise. The cluster is about an inch forward of the “normal” trad twin/twin + cluster but it is fun as fvck once you get used to it.
