Any advice for futures fins for a 5’8 Tomo evo (interested in both thruster and quad options)

I’m about 200lbs

I found that the AM2 suits it incredibly well (take my advice with a small pinch of salt, as I like that fin in nearly every board :p )

Short, chonky tailed board and a 200lb. rider, yep AM2's are a good place to start.

Yes on Am2
Prolly get the 5 fin techflex set as those are great big guy quad trailers
Possibly too small for you, but on my 5'5" Evo (I'm 180), I stumbled onto the Machado blackstix thruster (grey base) with a smaller rear fin, and really like it. Nice smooth hooks. For quad, I use the FireWire Futures set, mostly on smaller days.

Do you know what is closest to MR in futures base?
I think these are pretty close. Although I like the look of the Kraken fiberglass ones as well on their site. They look a bit smaller w a smidgen more sweep

Does anyone have a ride report on the machado 2+1 setup? How do they compare to AMT? They look closer to thruster

Been loving the Machado set on my Pyzel Gremlin. Feels faster than my normal thruster setups but still stable at the same time. I've tried a bunch of different setups on this board from quads to my go to thruster sets. Machado 2+1's on that board is money. I usually surf that board in the typical 2-4ft stuff in SD. Never rode the AMT's so can't comment there.
