just done with an attempt on the roberts white diamond, 5'10 x 20 1/4 x 2 3/8, they look like a great design so i had to have a crack.
any thoughts on fin placement or options? was thinking to keep with the thruster set up as roberts does, but a quad seems like a good idea with the fat tail....
any help would be hugely appreciated.
thanks.

You could do both.
Agree. I would do both. IMO:
Front fins: 11" from tail; 1.25" from rail; 1/4" toe in.
Rear Quad fins: 5" from tail; 1.75" from rail; 3/16" toe in.
Thruster fin: 3.25" from tail.
Also, I would use some fairly high-area fins with a wide tail like that.
Board looks really nice, by the way. I have one slightly scaled up to 6’0" which works great with similar fin placement to my above recommendations.
I have one that is a thruster but I do wish I’d gone with the 5 box setup just to try out. It seems as though the quad might handle a little more power. I usually ride it as twin+trailer with FG-7’s on the rails and a K-3 center. Looks like a nice board and I’m sure it will be fun whatever you decide.
fantastic, theirs a beginners mistake for you. i hadn't even thought of a 5 plug option.
i will go grab some more plugs tomorrow, surf has been going off here (NZ) so boards have taken a back seat for a couple weeks.
this pic is of a local break. super fun and my pic just dosn't do it justice this morning. it was a good double overhead on the sets, super fun long walls and the first test of my new stick.
