Good morning from mid north coast nsw.
Not really a LB. Just a has been who never was 
Seems to be more chatter here than SB room, so.....
Been riding an 8' softie for fun and play.
Took out the fins and replaced with my 2 small quads from my 'short' board.
Curious if others have tried this combo in their hard boards and what was the result. 
Thanks
Welcome I can't help with your question but one of the fin gurus should be able to help you out. LACEY Nozza ? But it could lack drive.

Actually tried that yesterday. Back to 3 fins today. As Macaha said "....lack(s) drive".

Can work and gives the board a really different feel...
However, I reckon the width of the board vs the size of those fins and that thing will slide out pretty easy.
I would think you need 2 larger fins if you are wanting to surf it was a twin, let us know how you go...
Never done it my proper boards,but I have on my softy and it was a massive fail. It was almost like surfing finless without the spinning fun of a Fin less softy
I use the old plastic Slater fins in mine as a thruster and it seems to be the best set up.
If you try and put bigger fins in a softy they will sadly rip your plugs out
In saying all that ,you have to be realistic as you are on a big floating wave stealing machine and control is not a strong point in a softy ,so no matter what find you use you will always be nursing turns
Rip the fins out and go spinning crazy mate(also will teach you super quick how to engage a rail) 
One of the local mal riders only uses the two fins (thruster setup) absolutely rips on it couldn't tell how it feels under foot.
Yep Ifocus I thought of him immediately also, asked him about it a couple of years ago. He grew up on twinnies so feels good for him. He takes off & has a couple of pumps to get flying down the line. Only really sucky on the first section so as long as your past there having release to smash it off the top on slow crumblers is a good thing....not gonna have the drive, but if the waves your surfing are not fast down the line its not an issue
