Quad fin setup Angulo Surfa 9'0"
« on: April 15, 2011, 01:03:46 AM »
My latest purchase

Length: 9' 0"
Nose: 23”
MId: 31 3/4”
Tail: 19 1/2”
Thickness: 4”
Volume: 140
Weight: 18 lbs
The board has futures fins boxes
I want to try the board as a quad.

Just like my Fusion:http://www.standupzone.com/forum/index.php?topic=10165.0

The Fusion is based in South Africa,the Angulo will be used in the Netherlands:choppy,slow waves that are under 2 meters,,under 1 meter 90% of the time..

The board comes with a pair of asym 4"fronts, and a pair of asym 3,5"rears.
This seems to be quite small for a wide board like the surfa.

Because  I forgot to take the 4"0 fronts at the shop I started with the 5,4" Gerry Lopes fronts and the 3,5" rears

I already had a good time on my new board considering the crappy conditions.

Does any body have some advice on quad fins for this board so that I will be ready for better conditions?

Do I need symmetrical or asymmetrical rears and what size should they be?

And what size fronts should I use?

I usually use the Speedwings (4.6") in front with fully-foiled 3.5 inch rears.
Lately I tried, and really liked, all four Rainbow Speedwings.
It makes it really drivey and and a solid carving feel on the face.

So the first thing I should try is replace the 5.4" Gerry lopes fronts by slightly smaller fronts about 4.6" ?

I am also going to try the 4.0" fronts that come with the board but I suppose that's for small waves (which is what we normally get)

What board is in this picture?
Is that a handle?

I started out with the big Lopez fins in front, but it seemed (to me) like it really stiffened it up on the wave.
I have always liked smaller fins because I usually ride head high waves or less.
The board in the picture is the prototype for the 9'8" Surfa.... And yes, that is a handle hanging off the back. I still have all my fingers and only grab it in lightweight conditions.
