It uses a \u003cstrong\u003eFutures\u003c\/strong\u003e fin system, so you’ll need Futures fins for any setup.\r\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003ch3\u003eDoes it really work well as a twin with trailer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\r\n    Yes. Running it as a \u003cstrong\u003etwin + trailer\u003c\/strong\u003e is a popular choice because it keeps the board fast and loose, while the small trailer fin\r\n    adds control and confidence when you push through turns.\r\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhat’s the benefit of the thruster setup on this board?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\r\n    A \u003cstrong\u003ethruster\u003c\/strong\u003e adds predictability and hold, especially when the wave face is steeper or you want tighter, more controlled arcs.\r\n    It’s a great default setup if you’re unsure where to start.\r\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhat kind of waves is this RNF 1996 best for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\r\n    It shines in \u003cstrong\u003esmall-to-medium surf\u003c\/strong\u003e and any day you want speed through flatter sections.
