Why?", 16, "Squid", "Jul 24, 2014", "2014-07-24T03:46:09-0400", "As someone who rides a log 98% of the time, I found that when I went short, the transition was much easier on my 5-fin Campbell Bros compared to a thruster.  When I would jump down to a thruster, I noticed that bottom turns and cut backs were almost two turns put together; a set up turn and then another turn half way through to drive out or back. Thrusters had good projection but it took me a while to time those two turns correctly so I won't stall mid-way through a turn. On a 5-fin, it felt like one continuous turn, more similar to the feel of a single fin.  By the second wave, I would be completely acclimated. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n I have tried both 5-fin and 3-fin bonzers and much preferred the 5-fin variety.  For me at least, I think the change from a single fin to three fins was harder to deal with than dropping 3 feet in board length. From the 5-fin bonzers I had ridden, I feel the 5-fin has the projection of multi-fin boards but more of an archy, drawn-out, continuous pressure turn.  For the average surfer and average surf destination, a 9'6 log and a 6'6 5-fin bonzer would be a great travel quiver."]], "columns": ["post_id", "thread_id", "thread_title", "post_number", "author_username", "post_date", "post_date_iso", "post_body"], "primary_keys": ["post_id"], "primary_key_values": ["59737"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6392499999492429, "license": "Public Domain"}
