My new 5'10" eps/resinx. Haven't kept a thruster for more than a week in 7 years. All quads for me. Currently making my own, but occasionally pick one up from a real shaper. Properly setup, which isn't easy, nothing comes close for me. Like butta!

Bamm I know you only shape for yourself, but whose boards to do pattern yours after? Fin placement wise? I know you're surfing the Country on a quad so I'm sure they work well in a wide ranges of wave size/conditions.

and if you happen to mistakenly get in his way he pins you down on the sand and gives you a very painful neck tattoo...if he's in a good mood that day.

Really love this iconic DVS style quadfish. Can handle overhead waves, but really its sweet spot is 2-3 ft BU.

Started with Martial Crum/Critters quads, which I was on for a couple of years. I wanted to go in a different direction, so I started up the hobby after 10 years of not making myself a board. Superficially modern, low volume hpsb's, but upon closer examination, some important differences. Fin setups are what works with the shapes, trailers closer to the rail than most are doing. Making my own fins, cause I don't like any of the available sets. Using Lokbox, cause being able to move your fins rocks. I constantly trade boards with people, and my own stuff just works better for me than anything else. Surfing better at 47 than I expected to, but still not as well as I would likew

Good discussion!
My favorite quad / hybrid for many years has been a custom bat tail quad hand shaped by the late Harold Iggy.. went super in a wide variety of conditions.

this one, why? i've had the best wave riding experiences of my 25 year surfing life on it, more hold drive and manoeuvrability than i actually thought was possible at that speed, 5'7".

The Blend model I got from Wayne Okamoto at Oakfoils has been the most positive board I have ridden. 6' x 21" x 2.6"
I'm still playing with fin setups, but so far stretch fronts with pivot rears are working soooo well I just don;t want to change. But a Bonzer 6 1/2 " single fin has been fun but I really want some more wave power to try it in. I'm going to be building some sidebites to go for a widowmaker setup soon as well.
But so far, Quads FTW!!

This is still the best looking Blend out there FruitBison (IMO). Hey, I know your dims by following Wayne's blog and this one seems way less volume than you usually get. I'm on the bigger/less in shape side (not saying that you are!  ) , so that's pretty interesting to see that this design carries a lot of float in a somewhat small package. Cheers!

Thanks Alex, I'm probably a much more lazy ass paddler than most on the erBB, apart from facing down the Winter Walls of Death, so this shape does like a little more push than my usual quad fish. Dredging beach breaks a speciality, but I'd like to take it some reef and points soon.
After posting a board that was 2.6" thick I thought PopOutCop would bring in his partner FoamDetective to take me down....

Decided to go for something like this. Cheater quad is one of the only models I haven't tried yet. To Felix tail or not is the question...

Sorry...no offense to either you or DD, but I've seen this
posted a bunch of times and assume it's Twittard-related.
But no, it's an opinion. Valid, maybe, but not in any way
a fact.
