Beginner/intermediates on a Five-fin

An old post had the comment "I was told I should get a Five-fin"
Well yesterday, after surfing and showering off in the parking lot, the guy next to us had a nice round nose swallow tail fish shape. He turned it over and it had ALL five fins installed. I asked him about it and he said those are the fins it came with. I told him you either ride with 3 fins or 4 fins but not 5. " well it make it easier to turn ?" was his response. Upon closer inspection, I realized the back 3 fins were 4.5" while the fronts were 4.2" quad trailers. Not only had he installed all 5 fins but put it in the hardest combination possible. Well at least they were facing the right direction.
