I stole this from a guy on Craigslist over the weekend. It's an IS Sweet Spot Pro 2014 model.
A nice, short, surf style board that can be thrown around it sounds like. Waiting to get to my boat to try it out.

Any advice on setup of the fins? 5' 8", 180 lbs on a good day. Looking to get some decent speed out of it for general slashing and hopefully some 360's. It isn't the most optimum board for that, I have others, but could be fun to ride. I didn't find a lot on the web about setting it up other than a video which was pretty good.

Friend of mine has one of these. It's a fun board pretty fast and spins easily. You'll enjoy it.

I don't have the pro, just Sweet Spot. It's an older model, not exactly sure when I got it, maybe around 2011 or so. I'm about 5'8" 165 and it is plenty fast and bouyant, can probably handle up to 200lbs OK. I kept all 4 fins on. I did my first 360 on this board, just need to weight it right so you break the large fins loose. You can definitely cut and carve on it.

Thanks for the good feedback. There isn't much on the web about it but what I saw looked pretty good. The video on the IS site is pretty horrible as far as the riding (only a weak ollie and some slashing) but from what I read from others it looked good.
This is the same as your Sweet Spot it just has the carbon on the edges.

They only come with the two large fins now so looking at any good setups.

I just bought one, yet to get on it, however I contacted Inland for a recommendation for set up. I am around your weight and they recommended adding 5.5cm fins on the inside.

Will it break for a 360 with those on? I was thinking of something small on the inside to get more speed but don't really know.
