2011 Quad 87 fin settings

[tsawwassen]

I finally got my Quad on the water the other day and it was a thrilling ride!
A little too thrilling at times and I thought I should set it up a bit different. I went out with it set up for side shore conditions and had a hard time keeping up wind and it kept spinning out. I thought about it after and maybe I should have it set up for on shore conditions. Where I sail the wind does come side shore but the waves are wind driven, there is no surf, so the wind and waves are coming from the same direction. Would this not really be equal to on shore conditions?
Any feedback would help.
Thanks

Michael
