Re: Just general surfing stuff
I'm not sold on the idea.
I only have one board with a 5 fin setup, that green one linked above, but never really been tempted to try it as a thruster.
Nick and leej beat me.

Good. That’s what I figured also. And as for quads, I’ve had my stint on them and over them. Warp speed for beating down sections but not as much turning and less accuracy with turns vs thruster

I like them in summer boards for drive or for the point and shoot barrels where you don't turn, but generally prefer thruster for good waves and single for covering ground.

That about sums it up

Re: Just general surfing stuff
It does depend a lot where the rear fins are place tho', a lot are much nearer the rail than the stringer

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Totes. I’ve had both the flatter wider type boards with the fins out on the rail, and the rockered board with the mckee set up . I preferred the latter. But even still prefer the feel of a thruster.
And yes Steve, the ghost looks the tits. Might go fondle

Jon Pyzel was staying just down the road a bit from me at a mates place earlier this year. I met him once and exchanged a few words - nice guy

Motackle. I thought to myself, wow, that's a hip hop happening fishing store name, Mo' tackle.steve shearer wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2017 3:14 pmHey Toots I'm in Coffs smashing Motackle. Any surf around?
But no, it's actually not a hip hop happening name.

Motackle stands for 'Mail Order Tackle', which is very dull, but makes the pedant in me think there should be zero over-the-counter sales allowed.
This whole Motackle thing is a bit of a downer.
Re: Just general surfing stuff
They could have an outlet called Home of Mail Order Tackle.....or HoMotacle.
Re: Just general surfing stuff
Well yes it’s a dull name but if you’re into fishing the store itself is mind boggling.
BTW they own Outdoor World next door and had some of these new fangled Pyzel thingys on sale the other day .

….this was pushing off the wall not diving in.
...running out of breath underwater hasn’t been an issue. Not too bad for a 62 y/o who surfs irregularly.
Re: Just general surfing stuff
Clearly it Ozzie
