I just picked up a 4'6" Soulcraft Jordi Pro (I'm 5'11" 185) at the local summer boat show this past weekend. I have ridden it with the following fins and configurations.

All 4 stock fins
Just the 2 stock main fins
2 Futures Blacksticks main fins
and 2 Futures Blacksticks and the stock nubsters

Anyone have a fin recommendation for me?

One vote for the Futures Solus. Only the best fin in the universe.

I have looked at those and I was also looking at the V2 RM Blackstix 3.0 Thruster Bamboo. They have a ride rating of 9.7 speed generating, springy fluid and responsive.

I am currently using the F4 Blackstix Thruster carbon.

Speed rating is kinda rubbish IMHO—I have regular blackstix F4, Ando and Solus. And also chaos flares.

My personal go to is Solus.

I've ridden F2's, F3's, and F4's on my 4'6 nubstep.

I've also ridden it with the blackstix F4 3.0 and the John-John Grom's. My favorite are the JJG's. They're a bit looser than the blackstix. Both are fun, but I liked the JJG's better and my wife stole the blackstix for her Sparkplug and then immediately put them on her new Neo.

We both only ride with the 2 fins. Never liked it with the quad setup.

Futures Solus are not that easy to find and my immediate gratification side found the Rob Machado Futures V2 bamboo on Amazon...which will be here tomorrow.

I'll report back.
