6’4” quad based off one I did a few posts back

6’4” quad based off one I did a few posts back. My intention is to create a distinct pocket of air under the front foot when the board gains speed and lifts onto plane. This is in an effort to not only reduce drag, but more importantly to try and keep the board planing on those outer flat panels when going in a straight line and to reduce any sticky feeling when on the rail through turns. This one being a bit shorter and narrower is geared more towards steeper/faster waves.

A 5’11” prototype.

The bottom shape has a deep single concave in the nose, transitioning to single concave entry fading to double concave to flat with some acceleration in the tail rocker behind the center fin. I’m going for something extremely nimble and skatey. The break in the outline caters to quick release in the lip and directional control under your back foot through turns. Excited!

Custom 5’8” with single concave between the fins and concave cups directly behind the fins.

Placing the concave behind the fins helps the board spring through turns and utilizes the most out of what would otherwise be just flat panels placed outside of the single concave.

A custom 6’1” with a twisted rocker, offset wide points, flat panels tracing the toe and heel side, an offset single concave, and a toe side channel with a cup of concave between the channel and the toe side rail.

In pursuit of performance oriented surfing, the twisted rocker and offset wide points cater to the the different pressure points that you engage when doing different types of turns to keep things flowing smoothly along whichever line you may draw. The offset single concave brings the deepest part of it right under your toes, giving leverage and direction to push off of - wether that be bottom turning or pumping down the line. The toe side channel and concave cup to the right of it do a few things. It gives a bit to push off of and utilizes the most engaged part of the board when bottom turning or pivoting. It also gives the water an edge to release off of when it comes diagonally across the bottom when leaning on your toe side rail - essentially making it feel a little less sticky than it otherwise would feel.
