Pfffffffffft. Do you know why we come on this forum?All this constant buying, selling, switching fins, etc seems like it would take a lot away from actually surfing, and maintaining or improving one's surfing.
Maybe try an experiment: buy a standard, basic all-around CA thruster - maybe a Flyer - throw the fins for the board in it (Merricks) and surf it exclusively for a few months.
Have you ever thought about getting a GMM2 with a bit of length for more glide and spray throwing? It's supposed to be ridden short, but maybe something like a 5'8 would be a good fit?@casa_mugrienta I've actually been riding a 5'8 SKX, set up as a thruster only, and been having a blast on it. Its actually very enlightening. The pulled in tail and pivot of the thruster setup makes the board naturally want to go straight up the face. It took some time to get over the pointy nose but I'm actually preferring it to some of the wider tailed boards (Cymatic, OB1, El Tomo, etc.). Longer board throws more spray too.
Are you riding the SKX I sold you or a different one?@casa_mugrienta I've actually been riding a 5'8 SKX, set up as a thruster only, and been having a blast on it. Its actually very enlightening.

For every bit of planing you lose on the shoulder, you gain agility in the pocket. As much as I have been on grovelers, love being on a 3 fin going str8 up brah!@casa_mugrienta I've actually been riding a 5'8 SKX, set up as a thruster only, and been having a blast on it.

A different one. I found a used helium SKX. It feels like some of the best surfing I've ever done. Pretty enlightening actually.Are you riding the SKX I sold you or a different one?
It feels good to go straight up. Harder in smaller waves though. I wish we had better days more often.For every bit of planing you lose on the shoulder, you gain agility in the pocket. As much as I have been on grovelers, love being on a 3 fin going str8 up brah!
The single most common statement in surfing.I wish we had better days more often.
My tightest pivoting board is a wide tailed thruster.A different one. I found a used helium SKX. It feels like some of the best surfing I've ever done. Pretty enlightening actually.
Im beginning to think wide tailed quads are harder to pivot than a pulled in thruster. Who woulda thought...
I'm curious...What model is it? Is the tail wider than the nose? I've heard those kind of boards are good with a bit of extra length on them...My tightest pivoting board is a wide tailed thruster.
We won't talk about which model.
That's so crazy to me... but I've seen the proof so I know.My tightest pivoting board is a wide tailed thruster.
We won't talk about which model.
Might be ordering that Revo sooner than later!Maybe stop buying meme coins. BTC and ETH up 30-50% over past month.
