QUADS FOR BARRELS?

[IB_Surfer]

My bigger stepups have a pulled in tail. As to a singlefin, it's like when I use my fish on a big day, the board glides so much it just goes past the barrel with no chance of staying inside.

The quest is the best...

Last post: Blacks Beach a foot overhead, no barrels but lots of tuck-in closeouts, great in the pocket. Going with this set up for barrel chasing, now just need a barrel...

Found an interesting read on this:

https://barefootsurftravel.com/livemore-magazine/surfboard-fin-setups-explained

"Surfers also use quads in big hollow waves, with the back fins placed further back on the board, for extra hold in steep waves. Advanced surfers enjoy the extra speed gained from not having a centre fin, and the additional hold on higher lines, due to having 2 fins near the rails."

So I guess I would have to ask my shaper if my fins are "further back" I have a 6'9" step up I use, I might just set it up as a quad with some size S on the back, see how it does.

Thought this might be helpful also.. for getting more hold from the fin setup. Thanks for the info.. I'm gonna give this a try also.
