Yep, thats the one! :D

I guess you could set it up as a twinny but I really don't think the fin boxes would be in the right place. Kitey may correct me on this but I'd think the box for a twinny would sit about half way between the front and rear boxes.

yeah i was trying to judge whether youd lose the front two or the back two

was talking to a local lad that said for a bit of crack he takes out his middle skeg on his shortie (thruster setup)sometimes for a bit of crack. presuming he meant its a bit looser in the turns

Loose as fook I should imagine!

I kind of do the same on a little hybrid fish I've got on smaller days. I've got a set of FCS MR-TFX which have BIG side fins and an itty bitty trailer for the centre box. Loose as but still really drivey! 8)

Btw, where abouts are you from? Me, I'm a good Donegal lad that has severely lost his way!!

I know :oops: I'm not very proud of it!!

Unfortunately my parents moved over here when I was very young so I'm going to lay the blame on them!

As to why I've never moved back.....well that ball is firmly in my court!! :roll:

Tell me about it!

I do wonder sometimes how much better my surfing could have been if I'd stayed a stones throw away from the likes of Spanish point and the like! :evil:
