No thought other than... Do it. Unless less you ride a log.

The Clearwater ones would be my pick.

The CW are bigger than i wanted to go. Looking at around 5-6 inch.

If you already have side fins bigger than 5s look at getting a single they are here. About $50 each.

The Jackson ones are s'posed to be good

Then try the Jackson Close items .... think (but not totally sure) they might be your go

(shizz SP beat me to the deadline hahaha - they are great fins , I have ordered some)

Iwas think about just getting a new centre fin but my sides ar little gl side fins. From the dims they are a lot smaller than the shapers side fins. Guess they are trying to compensate for havin a smsller centre fin.

I've got the Ruben roxburgh thrusters from shapers on one of my boards . I really like them , look good too with bamboo inlay .
4.52 inch sides , 5.5 inch centre , IMO more if you enjoy carving then nose riding - others might think differently

Had a play on a board with Gerry Lopez thruster fins couple of weeks back - really enjoyed that setup as well .

On smaller Surf you need big side Fins to give you drive,then the small centre will give the looseness.

When the surf has a bit more oomph go the normal thruster setup,I use shapers am2 and love them. I do use them when im lazy and don't change them to my Jackson and they still go very good.......
