Feeling.
The new Custom Quad has a more connected feel to the water during the turn, it has an instant response to rider input and goes exactly where you want it to go. Reduced swing weight means the Custom Quad feels lighter and more balanced during maneuvers. Faster, earlier planing with less drag due to the new rocker keeps the board planing through lulls for longer. Overall a much lighter, more efficient board with a more responsive and engaging feel
Construction.
A holistically reimagined construction process, consisting of a unique blend of Biaxial, Uni-Directional and Plain Weave into our proprietary Carbon Monocoque – connecting masttrack and stance to rails and bottom, forming a cohesive whole – as well as a full S-Glass hull, enables us to now craft boards identical to our custom boards built on Maui. An tailored Hyper Skin sandwich layout creates the ultimate strength to weight ratio. S-Glass rail bands provide ideal torsional strength, without adding weight or reducing flex.
Description.
With over two years of evolution and over two decades in the making, generation 8 of the Custom Quad is our pinnacle wave board.
Improved efficiency and volume distribution with reduced friction and increased waterflow allowed us to augment the overall curve of the board and shorten the new Custom Quad without losing any of the lengthier previous generation’s fastness. Putting us deeper into the most critical section of the wave, right where we want to be, but with more speed and turnability under our feet. A word on weight, custom built US boxes for lightness and compatibility, removed deck sticker for lightness and sustainability.
9 world champion titles, between Marcilio Browne, Maria Morales, Marino Gil and Francisco Goya, from its original design to its exuberant evolution, this is the off-the-shelf board our team, from Juniors to Pros, choose to ride and compete and win on, decade after decade. Generation 8 is only one big step better, again.
