Hi guys,

at here we have in discount Airush Quad 2012 in Active structure. Looks hot, but how's the riding and the weight of the board (especially with Active tech)?

I am currently riding Slinshot's Tyrant 6'1 strapless version which is really light but the downside will be the durability, and if the Quad is a bit stronger but as light then it would be awesome. I am now in love with light weight boards that I don't want anything else.

Oh, I am 80kgs, riding from 12 to 40 knots, only strapless and mostly in onshore wind & somewhat mushy swell up to head high.

Thanks!

... I've got the Cypher in Active build which is sort of the new version of the quad and so far so good. Only had it for a little while now and roughly 12 sessions or so from light to some strong winds and I'm liking it.

I'm very heavy and I think I put a lot of pressure on things so I haven't seen any heal dents or stress but I do need to wax the board often as it seems to disappear quickly, especially after good wind. Thats my biggest complaint, no deck pad but I can get an after market one, not sure if Quad has it or not but it is a pain in the neck.

The board I have is a big one but since its the Active build version its about the same as most smaller productions surf boards but it is definetely stronger than my glass board. I've creased my old glass board in one 20 knot session, same conditions on the Cypher and not a sign of distress yet.

I figure, getting the Active build version was a good call on my part as its light, strong and seems to handle my fat arse no worries.

Good luck,

Robbie
