Hi all,
So I recently traded boards with a buddy of mine. I mostly ride Christenson's these days (Fishes, Gerrs, and Carreras) and have a 5'1 FW Baked Potato that I use as a groveler. I should be riding this board as 5'3 really because I ride my shortboards around 28-29L and the 5'1 Baked Potato is a tad over 29. Anyway, I love the BP, its in Timbertek and I use it as a groveler. My buddy had a brand new 5'9 FW Twice Baked in Timbertek (42L) that he wanted to swap with me for Helium Chumlee (barely used) that I had in my garage. I never really figured out or surfed the Chumlee so I went ahead and swapped it for the Twice Baked.
I got the board to use as a floaty fat board for longboard waves, for when I can't use the 5'1 Baked Potato. My question here is on fins. I run my BP (Futures) with the Controller Fins and add/remove a knubster fin depending on the waves. I love this fin setup and found it the best for these types of boards. I want to buy a controller set for the Twice Baked, which is in FCS2, but given that the board is way larger, and 13L fatter than my BP, I was wondering if any of you guys would recommend a type of fin setup for this board (Keels, Twins, other Quad setups). Also, I wouldn't add the knubster to the Twice Baked. Right now the only quad setup I have on FCS2 are the AM mids, and I don't think this board at this size will go well as a thruster, specially not because I going to be riding it in knee high/soft waves.
I appreciate all the recommendations.
Cheers!
