Really kook and even harder to stop being a kook aka: once a kook always a kook....I remember when guys like Jimmyboy (aka, shaka guy) thought the new-fangled thruster fin setup was for kooks. It's hard to get traditionalists out of their comfort zone.
Try again: I would say a traditionalist like me who surfs short stubby quads 6" under my height, has no thrusters in current quiver, and couple months ago went stringerless eps/epoxy "DFT" 5150 with speacial "Twuad fin set up, and is 52 years old is pretty far out of confort zone What has a kook like you done? Score fireturd mid length crutch that surfs like a short board braa wowzers now datz what I call progression
