Surfed those Rasta quads on a new board today, enjoyed them, "flingy" turns.

You want fast and skatey try Lillte Creatures Nat Young fins. Gee whiz.

It's amazing how much money you can spend on fins! I remember i had a potatonator for a while and i must have spent $400 on different fins for that board. They all worked. Some were better than others, but i kept buying and trying.

I've got the rastas in my CV2 - they work great, so i'm trying to avoid the ol - 'wonder what these fins would feel like?' itch.

I'm far worse with quads than with thrusters for some reason.

Anyway - still got two more weeks of rehab until i can get back in the water. It's been a long two months already.

I used to do the same, try lots of different fins. Fun but yeah, expensive!.

2 months out? Amateur

Does it ever end? Seriously, I have so many friggin boards and I just wanna try more and more. Its driving me insane.

I've finally settled on a few for now....for now.

Post by **batoes** » Thu Nov 26, 2015 9:16 am

Thanks for the offer Davros - but i don't have a thruster at the moment! I had a huge board whoring year last year, but can't do it anymore - i sold my little online business and have no cash. I've got a really solid quiver with only a few wants for the future. The problem is time and consistency. I've got number 4 (child) on the way and the injuries have began to creep in (i know - i know - two months isn't that bad : )). Lucky i've got a few thicker boards for the recover and the onset of middle age.

No probs, I'm happy to swap fins with anyone on an honesty basis.

Number 4. Congrats. Better get some surfs in quick!!

4?! Jesus mate no mucking around!. Mate there's something about a good longer board. Easy paddling and entry and trim and glide are good for you now and then. At the risk of offending hardcore longboarders, the simplicity of flowing along with a wave is nice.

I seem to have the same amount of time as I used to but just don't surf near as often for some reason!

I agree - i grabbed a 6'6 hull down at the local surfstore in the village - made by a local guy. Super fun in anything from knee high to overhead. We've gotta go for a bonzer session when we're fit Beery.

Davros - i agree. Some fn swaps could save you $150! I have plenty of single fins - bonzers and greenoughs and others.

oh and no 4 is proof accidents happen.

Congratulations anyways.

Thats an expensive mistake!!

Whats everyone surfed last 3 surfs?

Tues - NPJ 8ft single
Weds - ditto
Thurs - 6'0 pavel keel fin - great fun today.

Post by **Davros** » Thu Nov 26, 2015 2:34 pm

what shape is the 8ft purcho? I had a 7'2 pin tail for good waves, loved it but never rode it...SOLD!

purcho - quartet (f*cking love this board)
2 x Psillakis quad fish (brand spanker, an all rounder, goes well in the 2 ft stuff but it will light up in decent 3-5ft)

Post by **Drailed** » Thu Nov 26, 2015 2:55 pm

I think it's similar to his Blue Chateau model....

Pin tail, 22 wide, 2 3/4 thick..... got it as a small clean wave board but also had it out on 4-6ft point and it was great fun.....

hearing stuff like this is always good.

A must try fin combo for your CV2 if you're a big unit.
Twin fins in the front and DVS shark tooth side bites in the rears.
If you don't have the DVS fins then sb1 sidebites.
Twinnie drive and still loose in the tail with control.

Which twinny fins did you use Cuttlefish?
