    pretty wide tail...doubt your gonna want to ride it as a thruster. I'd probably just buy a set of quad trailers (sized for your weight) and use the sides from a tri set I already have.

    I am biased towards quads but as mentioned ablve, the wide tail would favor a quad. I have heard these boards are pretty loose still (I think there is a lot of v)
