FCD Huevo Ranchero Fin Recs

[parkiteric]

After years of hunting, I finally picked up a 7'4" HR in Santa Cruz of all places. Had a lot of fun with it a first point, PPoint. The board came with an 8" California classic fin. @waxurDyl and other HR owners, what fin set up are you using. Thinking of a 6 inch center fin with some side bites, but which ones for the side fins and center fin. Thanks.

I have something similar, a custom based off a Takayama Howard Mini, I run a 6.5" bonzer center fin with Futures F2 grom fins as sidebites. Forget who recommended this type of setup but it works really well. It's also pretty close to the set that CI sells for the CI Mid.

I was running a larger center with standard side bites but found it was a little stiff and didn't want to connect turns. The fin change fixed that.

The 6in CA Classic is perfect with Future SB1 sides. That’s what I use in the 7’2

Picked this up in a trade. It says "Egg', but looks identical to a Huevo. It's like new, but the guy I got it from said it was sitting in the shop for a while (fin boxes are even yellowed). Did this become a Huevo or is it totally different?

Yeah. It doesn’t seem like Fletch knows what an egg looks like. LOL

I really hope I'm missing the joke in the this. Huevo is Spanish for Egg.

Haha, yeah, i think we all know that. The Huevo Ranchero model dates back at least 12+ years and this board is like new. Just making sure since I'm listing it for sale and wanted to be accurate.

Just call it a mid length and it will be sold before you know it.

I love my HR. its such a versatile board. 2 foot mush to DOH+ mush at Makaha and Lani's. Just surfed it at Swami's 2 days in a row in big solid conditions. Currently, running it with NVS twin fins and a small True Ames 3" trailer for stability.

I just picked up a 3” trailer for my HR, where in the fin box do you have it placed?

I need to try this setup. I YOLOed a 7’4 a few months back and absolutely love it. Best impulse board buy in a while.
