Design
This seasons refinements to our quad design includes shorter lengths,
wider nose and centre widths and reduced tail widths and surface areas
with their pin tails ,to give a more balanced ,compact but still a very
gunny plan shape.
We have found that our 6.5cm front quad fins give the right amount of
lift to drag ratio, allowing us to reduce the tail width and surface
area with their pin tails and not be penalized with lack of glide
through wind lulls. This reduction of tail area has given the boards in
all size volumes from 60L to 120L harder turning and greater control.
When married to slightly wider nose and centre widths, allows a harder ,
shorter turning radius.
We have also reduced the front and middle rail volumes and increased
the tuck for greater holding power at faster speeds in gybing and bottom
turns and a more neutral non catch top turn.The sharp edged tail rail
are critical for better holding power with the lack of rail surface
area, stopping the rail from planing and lifting out of the water and
then letting go! These tail rails also allow the board to plan quicker,
we have found that we can plan a boards of 10L less of volume just as
quick , when compaired to other brands quads with this cleaner water
release.
Larger Volumes Quads
For too long these larger volume wave boards have been neglected in
design by designers of other brands, with their focus just being on sub
100 L and only increasing the volume for better float , but not
increasing the turning ablity . This year we wanted to bring the hard
riding performace up to the same level as their smaller volume wave
board designs , getting the same hard riding performance out of our 95 L
+ as our 60L to 90L has been one of our goals this season.Thus reducing
the need to change down to a smaller volume board once condition in
both wind strength and wave size increases.The increase range of these
boards allows better control and performance in riding in these gusty
real world sailing conditions.
