On a board like this what future fins would you use?
The board is 6'6 X 22 1/4 X 3 and I'm 73kgs.
Use in waves from Esperence to Exmouth as a 1 board option.
I like a stable and controlled feel.
Thanks.

Board itself is probably too big for you, but something like the stretch quads or MB2's are a good starting point.

I'd also go with the stretch quads.. they are good / balanced fins

I'm using the Stretch Quad set up and love them. Great set up.

Stretch quads? Are they Futures?

All good just did a Google search

Why is the board too big? Because it's not 5'10 X 19 X 2?

I said probably. But that size is something I'd look at and I'm 105kg. Of course there's a lot of other factors, but on the surface it appears too big.

I like big boards. I can ride them. Get heaps of waves. My last board was 6'3 X 22 X 2 3/4 thruster. A board like this where I surf gets me into anything before anyone else has even started to think about paddling in

Pfft. Go bigger.

Ignore the naysayers - I reckon the board would be fine for you. I surf a 6'10" with the same width and thickness as a one board quiver in similar waves and its perfect. I weigh 90 kgs.

Completely different outline, but similar philosophy if that makes sense.

Sorry I can't help you with the Futures question from experience (I use FCS) but I like upright fins in boards as I prefer the release they afford. The Eric Arakawa would be where I would start, but I haven't surfed either. Just chucking in my two bits of what I would do with that sort of board. I do have a couple of very similar outlines - a 6'0 twin fin using keels and 6'6" quad that uses large FCS Performers - so I don't feel completely ignorant, just a bit ignorant.

I ride a similar looking fish 6'4 x 21 x 3 and I'm about 98Kgs...I've found the DVS Quads to be pretty awesome good hold when its bigger but nice release when you want to throw it around...and I'm not a usually a big fan or quads

Good fins these ones - but very upright. I now prefer the AM2 quad set with more rake.

I've been liking the split keel controller type fins in my wide tail fishes..

Yep Stretch's definitely less rake than the Am2's.
