I’m trying to see the difference the tri fin vs quad makes but haven’t gotten to try the tri fin setup yet. We’ll see soon.

I’m surfing a Stretch quad shortboard. The local surf shop considers Stretch to be “the man” regarding quads and has special fin placement. My board has Vector II 4 5/8 front fins, with 3 1/2 rear fins. The rear fins are farther foward than the standard center fin found on tri fin setups. I am very impressed with quads in smaller surf where you need to rip quick fast turns. I would love the option to surf my SUP quad on small days and 2+1 on large days.

I’m still learning about fins. I’m seeing guys riding larger side fins and a small center fin. I’m going to try that on the quad Infinity I just got. The setup can be quad, 5 fin or 3 fin. I’m going to try the 3 fin cluster which is 5.5″ sides and 4″ center which is moved up close to improve turning. I would take it to the North Shore but it’s 8-10′ Hawaiian scale so I’m scared of that and the South Shore has been really small.

Good informative piece Evan, thanks. It looks like Wet Feet has a large and comprehensive selection of fins…also very cool that you can try them out!
