if you want a fish that surf’s like a thruster, then take a look at Greg Griffin’s 5-fin fishes.
He call’s them his “super thruster” like a quad is the “super twin”.
These are whayt I call “High performance” fishes versus the standard Mandala/Pavel/Zippi/Fry design which you wouldn’t dare be riding at backyards sunset like you can with these 5-fins. Nice thing is they ride Ewa Beach and White Plains too which is where all the hawaii pros learned to ride the crappy waves of the tour.
The board design has been proven (alot longer than the Stretch quad) being around since the 80’s with Dane and even applies to longboards as ridden by world champ RussK.
Quads ride differently than a thruster that’s why guys like them
Griff posts here as Sunsetpoint if you want to get a hold of him.
Sorry I have pictures but they are too big to attach so I’ll do it later when can resize them…
Here’s a link to one in the resources.
important though you need greg’s hand made fins to make this work…
