While I have my own Rocket Fish with a thruster set-up, I was eager to try Kent’s board which he claimed was much faster than a traditional 3 fin setup. This particular board also featured slightly wider and thicker dimensions than my own board: 5?9? x 2? 3/8 x 19? 1/2 [...] […] I recently tested Kent Senatore’s personal Rocket Fish quad as we had very clean conditions and a fun swell last week.

What we found was that the 4.25″ fins work well with a smaller board (we tested it with a 5′9 TORE Rocket Fish). These smaller templated fins can help loosen your board up in smaller weaker surf (head high and under). Just remember, it wouldn’t make sense to use 4.25″ fins in your 7′6 funboard. On the other hand, the 4.5″ Protecks worked great in a standard 6′2 shortboard and felt just as good if not better than stock FCS fins. The Protecks provided a lot more confidence in hitting the lip without worrying about putting a gash in your head with a mis-timed lip smack.
