5 fins & Quads

Postby isaluteyou » Sat May 23, 2009 8:10 pm

Check these boards out the first one isnt mine but was shaped for my friend. Its a small wave board with 5 future fin boxes - epoxy construction and a 5'8. The board is shaped by my good friend and master shaper Greg Sauritch - The total price tag was $495 but because it was shaped for my buddy it ended up at $440

The next board is a quad. Greg was kind enough to give it to me as a freebie. There were 1 or 2 small dings that i repaired with ease. Its a 6'2 epoxy construction with a bat tail. Perfect for me in small summer conditions. Now i have opted to not go with a tail pad(just to see how it works never ridden a short board without one)

Both boards have been tested in less than good conditions (in fact it seriously sucked out there) But thus far they worked great. Both boards were shaped by Greg Sauritch http://www.sauritchsurfboards.com

I will let you know how they all work the more we ride em.

Looks AWsome. I always wanted to try a quad.
But Is that your apartment or house? You live infront of the beach? :O!!

a quick update.

Got a 2 hour session in the evening in nice 2-4ft waves. there were a little soft..... That quad really came to life in those conditions. I dont think i have ripped that hard since winter. For the type of conditions i expect to see in the next few months i dont think i will ride anything else but the quad unless we get a freak swell or if im gonna hit some punchy beach break.

Stoked to finally have a board that works in smaller softer conditions that allows me to still rip :D

I dig quads for catching waves, just ordered a quad fish from my shaper.

The bonzer (5 fin) has always interested me but still haven't pulled the trigger on one.

Dude, Saurich makes great boards, enjoy!!
