This is the opposite of what I’ve heard and what I’ve experienced. My quad is fun but I can drive the fins through the turn with a bit of slide. The extra fin gives some extra push out of a bottom turn which creates more speed. I can ride this board in surf up to 6 ft. I’ve ridden it in 8 ft waves but I have a really hard time holding my line because the tail seems to want to slide down the wave.

Alternatively, my thruster feels much more locked in. I can ride it in any size waves, but it really performs best in bigger waves and good conditions.

Do quads offer more “grip” though (quad is my every day set up)? I think it’s the speed that it generates that makes you feel like you have more grip.

BS. Not all boards work the same. Depends on tail shape and width, trailer fin box placement, fin size and shape, etc. I have the exact same board shown in this vid and it works much better as a quad. It's at least 10% faster than as a thruster and actually pivots in a tighter arc.
