Pfffft quads on longboards

2nd that Cobra bad enough riding them as 2+1 set up I like the single fin on a longboard but they do ride differently getting away from the original look

come on asea its 2015 mate.


arent you riding your board thruster style- what did you lose your big single fin

tch tch tch ..... Lacey do not bait the Gods of the Greenroom my son they will unmercifully smash your worthless hide and your 26 foot Ocean Liner may be a-cursed

Hard to comment without seeing the whole board...but for mine that whole fin placement looks a bit to far forward

Even if it was a Josh Hall long fish simmons thingy it still seems a bit odd....

Never had a longboard set up as a quad but here's an 8 footer I had some years back. It went pretty good.

The mid length police are on their way to your house right now

The world is moving. Quads rock on most boards - there is no reason that they should not work on mals as well. Embrace change and give it a crack. There are lots of performance benefits from quads - especially when its big and hollow. No reason that a longboard shape could not be adapted for such use. I have been riding them for over 6 years now and can not really find fault with them at my level of surfing. I am no pro. Just a fella who likes to get a few waves now and again.

I think there is nothing better than knowing that your board has an extra bit of hold when you are steaming down the line through critical sections. My 6'10" is the first gun I have had with a quad setup and it just makes me feel so much more comfortable when it gets gnarly. Lots of blokes over here ride thrusters and ride them bloody well. Personally though I feel safer on the quad.

It may be all wrong, but I vaugly recall that the first time me and Vanders surfed with Lance up at woopi, he had one of his boards with a big square tail set up as a quad.

It was a couple of years back so I maybe wrong about the setup, but one thing I can remember very well is that lance wiped the floor with us that shesh.

& another at 6'0

macas favourite longboard was a quad.....I had so much fun on that board surfing a fat greenmount wave. super loose and fast. he could noseride it and walk the board effortlessly . I agree with laceys and teds post
