Do they make stick socks for SUPs?  I don't like bags.

But there is a twist why I want to HP sup like a short. I had a total hip replacement and I still can't pop up on my little 5'9.. so supping is my only form of surfing right now.

Well said OkiWild!! 
Thanks for the feedback!

And it is why I sup what you said.

My Quatro 8'6 Glide does give that Glide, trim, flow.

 The first day I supped a solid 4-6' wave I was so blown away by how early I got into waves and way outside... I was not used to that. My wave count was 5 to 1 to most and my waves were longer. I also could paddle way down the beach to try new peaks. 

Thanks again

Wow, thank you for the info.  I really appreciate that!

I was thinking maybe an 8'4  (130L, 30" wide) Quatro Carve Pro as my next step down.

or a Starboard Pro 8'0 - 29" 121L

background- short boarder for 30 years. Been supping now for 5 years and love it.

Currently having fun on the 8'6 Quatro Glide AST using a traditional thruster set (center fin a 4.5" fin).

So much fun in 1/2' to 6'. Doing turns, floaters, etc.

Looking to go more HP without sacrificing too much stability.  I'm 6'0, 195lbs.

Any suggesting?  Thanks for any feedback/help!

Thanks. I did purchase the single fin before I saw your post.

Did you not like them?  The sides seem big. I use AM Med in sides now.

I just found the FCS2 Hardley single fin. That might be the one.. 5 1/2".  Will give it a try.

I'm a shortboarder that has been surfing for 30 years. Due to injury, I have been supping and surprisingly loving it.

I just purchased a Quatro Glide 8'6.  I wanted a more lively fin so changed the center fin to a 6" Future Performance. The board went very well but I feel I can get more skatey.

I want to try a Future Performance 4.5 center fin. This would make all three fins the same as a traditional thruster..

To little fin for that board?
