Tinkering: 9'0" thruster
Yup. It works. I would prefer better waves with this set up. (Wouldn't we all?) Crazy Johnny wasn't so crazy. I can feel the new tri-fin Doc want to make sweeping drives off the bottom, but with the close-outs of OP today on a low tide, that wasn't going to happen so much. Bigger waves, bigger faces, that's what I need with this set-up. Weirdly, I wonder if I had had smaller fins might today's smallish close-outs been more fun and racier? At one point, I was thinking of going back to my car to put in the little side bites and keeping the G5 center fin in place. Stay tuned, mad scientist at work.

I'm debating taking the Turbo Tunnel off the Tyler and putting it on the Slcik. But I'm not as gutsy as you are so I think about it and then never do anything.
G - "big waves...and big faces..." that'll be me one day...but for now I like "little waves that crumble like cookies"
Sister -- take the Turbo Tunnel fin off the Tyler and try the other fin and see if you feel a difference. You could do it in the same session so you can compare. I think this fin-swapping thing is a whole new world...
Riab -- it's all in stages. I still like the little waves because I surf differently on them. I even like mushy evening chop because I have to surf those waves differently, too. I don't know what to say about liking bigger waves. When it's bigger and closing out, it's more about adrenaline. :)
