Thanks for the input. Finally got some waves to check things out for myself. I tried Quad, Thruster, 2+1. My favourite setup is the standard JL side-bite with a 7.5" Futures cutaway. Loads of grip but still very loose. I moved the centre fin around to get a good balance between paddling straight and looseness. Very happy now, what an excellent board this is!!!

Thanks. That's a lot of fin area but if it works for you that's great! The waves I surf are typically weak, could be a lot of drag from them.

Thanks abmatt. I have the fins so will try it as a Quad when I get time. Want to get into using it as a thruster and a 2+1 first. - I like those setups as I can slide the center fin up and down the box to get the exact feeling I want.

Thanks for the info. Ii"ll try it like that and see how it performs compared with my current setup which is 2+1 with a 7 inch cutaway centre. Anyone riding it as a quad?

Hi, looking to understand what fin setup's folks are using on the 8'5 Destroyer.
The front boxes are 16" up from the tail, so that suggests they are aimed more at a 2+1 setup? It also means the distance between the front and back quad boxes is quite long, so I'm thinking it may not turn so well in Quad setup?
Stuck waiting for waves so not able to do any meaningful testing. Any input gratefully received. Thanks.

Thanks both. Wrightsville sounds interesting, maybe only 2 hours drive. Outer banks looks much further, would probably need to do that over a couple of days.
Thanks again.

Hi, I'm going to be visiting the Raleigh NC area a few weekends between now and the end of the year. Can anyone recommend good rental locations nearby or on the coast. I'm experienced at Flatwater and Surf SUP.
Also starting to get into WingFoiling if you can recommend somewhere that gives lessons.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies, will try the suggestions, minus the one about the underwear PB. (Though the smell is similar to some that hasn't seen a washing m/c in a very long time ). Maybe a couple of good soakings in salt water (and drying-off after) will do the trick too.

Just bought a used wing. Condition is great, but it's obviously been put-away wet and it stinks, seems like it's inside the struts that is the problem. Any ideas what to wash it with, I know chlorine-based products are a big NO. Thanks.

I'm straight over the North Sea from you, so same conditions. I use 5/4, some of the guys use 6/5/4. In mid-winter boots need to be 5 or 7mm, and gloves 3 or 5mm. I prefer a suit without hood as it gives more options - on a cruise I'll wear a ski-hat, small waves a neoprene skull-cap, and if the surf is up, a vest with integrated hood (one of the best things I've bought). Hope that helps

I just applied RsPro to a new board, maybe the 4th one I've done. It went on perfectly, no air bubbles at all. Use water to apply and just take it easy, I get it onto the apex of the rail then squeegee out the water to the edges. If an edge won't immediately stick, just hold it down for a minute. Yes, it's more expensive than helicopter tape but in my mind well worth the extra.

Thanks Bean, I've sent you PM.
So, no-one riding the 9'9 by the look of it?

Thanks Bean, the volume of the 9'9 is where I want to be (>130) and the 10'1 at 160L is more than I need. But, the silence is interesting - has anyone ridden the 9'9? I can't find any reviews on it.
