Hi all,

I weigh 85 kg and I have just bought a 6'6 Firewire Helium Greedy Beaver. I need to buy some futures quad fins. Always surf with quads. Any suggestions. Do I need large or medium? I surf mostly two - three foot waves. Never much bigger than that. I'm an intermediate surfer aged 52.

I liked the look of the Album Mod quad fins

Thanks

M would work, but for that wide tail I'd be tempted to try L.

Have a look around pawn shops for a cheap set, might be able to try both and see what you prefer.

if you are only riding 2-3 footers, I'd go large or bigger...and get speed generating fins.

You need all the help you can get in that size surf.
