Ultra Groveler?

Island Bay started the topic in Tuesday, 14 Jun 2022 at 02:07 pm

I love solid waves. And perfect waves. And perfect, solid, hollow waves. Like everybody else. But there's something very very satisfying about surfing soft, knee high waves, if you have the right board, so I'm keen to find the ultimate Ultra Groveler.

A board that'll let you take off on fat, shitty waves, and connect impossible sections, on days when you wouldn't normally surf.

Joistik Cab Sav. Fireturd Sweet Potato 2. That sort of thing.

Ideas?

Waves like this (and no, that's not me thank you)

Agree, I have the H4's in thruster and quads, another excellent fin, best to use in more powerful, sucky, steeper reef/point set ups I found.

Do your H4 quads whistle at high speed ?

@quadzilla , I’m guessing these would be similar to the biolis split keels ? https://futuresfins.com/products/controller-alpha

Yes, also been using the earlier versions of the 3/2 for a long time.So bought the latest when they came out.I like drive fins and use them in plenty of configurements. Rarely as a Trusta though.

Mostly as an aSym configuration....The lead fins in both front boxes, the trail thruster fin in the toe side trail box then the(low area )hatchet from earlier 3.2 sets in the heel trail box.

The result is maximum drive on the toe side and an easy less resistance turn on the heel side.
