On! surfboards: the Quad Fish wins!

A few weeks ago I blogged about the mini quiver I made myself for early summer, consisting of an Eps/Epoxy short board and a 6' quad fish. I thought that I'd give some follow up on the boards. The Eps/Epoxy short board was great. Light responsive and versatile. I found that this board shaped to the same dimensions as my polyester short board, worked in all conditions. I had glassed this board extremely light as an experiment to see just how light I could go on a short board. Well... I guess it was too light. As you can see in the picture I broke it on a head high low tide session. The Quad fish is another new favorite. Not as controllable as a normal short board this fish is fast and loose. Surprisingly versatile in both hollow and mushy conditions this fish with a deep concave through the tail almost feels turbo charged as I'm going down the line. I'll be making a new Epoxy board as soon as I can get a blank and in the meanwhile I'm surfing the quad fish everyday.

What does the shaper ride?

In case you where wondering what the shaper rides, check out the mini quiver I made myself to kick off the California summer. I've shaped a 6'3" EPS/Epoxy. This board is light and has the added buoyancy of an epoxy board which will help in small gutless conditions. This is a performance shortboard that will also perform in better conditions. I've also shaped a quad fish. The quad fish is specifically designed for small conditions. At 6' with a width of 20 1/2" and 2 1/2" thick , and a flatter fish rocker this board will catch waves easy in weak conditions and have the looseness of a quad. Summer is almost here so get out there and enjoy it!

Spencer Pirdy, Big drop.
