Went and visited a shop run by a guy I occasionally surf with, he showed me a new model he's started to make with a quad fin setup , he reckons another mate of ours has one in a diamond tail that he uses as a quad most of the time, he says it's incredibly loose.

This on was a 9'4" x 23 x 3.

Looked pretty standard apart form a noticeable double conc through the tail.

Not really my cup of tea, but at least it has the option of going to a single.

Hi all,

Just thinking about my next mid-length purchase.

Planning a 8'0 x 22 x 3 with a rounded pin for 2 ft to 6ft Greenmount which has both some fat and hollow sections depending on the tide. Slight concave running thru to a double in the tail.

Just wondering if anyone has had a quad in this style of board. I recall a guy from Beachbeat at Alex highly rating an 8ft quad they had. However it did have a double concave running right thru the bottom. It could have just been shop talk but I would be interested in any feedback.

Otherwise I will probably stick with a thruster set up or 6" single with large sides.

Cheers

I thought that as everytime someone pimps a brand or spot or whatever, everyone blows up saying there is no place for it.

So, here you go! A place for it!

Don't want to see pimping? Don't read the thread, can't take others opinions, don't read the thread, don't like two headed Tasmanians? Don't read the thread!



Post your favourite brands or least favourite brand, I don't care

So I read and watched the thread re: Planing hulls, those young uns on the bits of styrofoam from soft top boards..that led me to look at the other vid shorts by hydronamica about the paipo stand up surfboards (not to be confused with sup as no paddle used)..which then led me onto looking at mini simmons boards and then I found this link which is a company who make larger simmons

There are prob many who shape them but this was the first one I came across. So now I'm thinking my custom I'll get later this year may well be a big bad boy simmons shape just purely cos I prefer the big rounded nose and width. There's just something about the shape I really like? Anyone know much about the paipo or simmons and any experiences surfing them?
