I'm not hard to find. You don't see many hot pink and chartreuse sails north of San Francisco.

got to test in Hatteras April -May .. strong winds:

the photo is of the fins that worked best, the 1st set and 2nd with 1-2 or 1-3 were all really good, large front 5.25" or 4.75" then smaller rear, the red set not so good.

tried as a tri fin with 4.25" & 16.5cm center , worked good

tried a 5 fin bonzer with 2 different centers, 10cm & 11.5cm , it don't work, maybe a larger center.. but have given up on this arrangement.

Wow! I didn't realize the side fins were pitched out like the OO's. So your saying the 2 thrusters per side is too much?

only the 5 fin setup has cant on the fins. didn't work, but may have with a larger center fin, was really bad ...not worth considering further tests

no on the tri fin cant like OO, but do have the ability to do cant 4 6 or 8 degrees with the ProBox.

did a tri fin , it was ok, but liked the quad better on this board, had a lot to test during this period, and still have quite a few to try, but can eliminate some now I know what to expect.

I have no set plans but want to go to Rio Vista , mid or late June. took 6 boards to OBX, not sure which I will take to Rio, probably the AmiGu 4 sure.

had an entire set to try on my RRD wave twin, and Makani were in town so tried theirs as well, plus a demo day on the Tabou Da Curve Quad 85L,
busy when the wind was up.

Is your RRD wave twin the Freestyle Wave with twin fin setup? As I understand it there were a limited number of the twin fin ones made... Or something alltogether different...like a dedicated wave board?

the RRD is a 74L Wave Twin, not the FSW with 2 fins, its a dedicated wave,

really loose and lots of fun.
