hello.......i've heard rumours.

i would not be surprised.


philosophically, same feature as the twin with more drive, better grip and increased lift and upwind performance.

it's interesting that a lot of surfers swear by quads but the thruster cornered the market.

heres the proof

that just looks dangerous.

looks like a lot of fin area, whats it go like with about half that fin area?

Its one of kauli's new boards, found the pic on boards.co.uk forum.

I'm thinking it will go upwind real good, twinnies do already with half the fins, a new set of fins is going to cost a hell of a lot.

Ma have you sailed the new board yet?

wow, twinnies have suddenly become soooo last month

looks like it has 4 footstraps out on the edges is this the new secret speed/slalom/wave board with fish tail? by god they've just invented the ultimate board! will it slide backwards ok?

hmmmmm. maybe it is the first ever jp directional kiteboard?

I googled "quad fin" and found they have really taken off with surfboards last couple of years. Especially in big waves.

So you'd have to buy four fins to tweak a board? or perhaps two, leaving "the other two" in place? Or how about asymetrical finning for port vs starboard beaches?

were'd all the other posts go?

Here is a link to my website and blog were you can find more pictures of the quad fins. www.lucid-custom.com
I've been working on this design for about 3 years and I just made a board for Kauli to try out. So the board you see is one I gave Kauli in order to get some feedback on the quad fin setup.
