Can You Use Quad Fins On A Thruster. Removing the center fin means that there is much less drag. The quad fin pretty much blends attributes of the twin fin and the thruster. This allows for quick maneuvers and sliding the tail around with ease.

During my coaching sessions i’m often asked, “what’s the difference between a quad (4 fins) and thruster (3 fins) fin setup?”. More fin area is positioned closer to the rail.

It also gives you that much more speed through the flats, as there is no resistance of a trailing center fin.
