Yeah, I've been posting a lot of surfing questions lately, but this is my last one. Do you guys think a Quad, in general, is a good type of board for semi-small Virginia Beach waves? (If it has to be specific, I'm gonna get a 6'4" Bat-tailed Hotline board.) Yeah, I've asked the local board shops and stuff, but I want another opinion. Thanks! sorry, the thing i was really trying to ask is is a quad also good for small waves, like is it able to catch them and hold it?
Mate – I live on the East Coast of Australia and recently bought a 6’3″ Simon Anderson quad – it is one of the best boards I have ever owned – I would recommend trying one out. Also some shops in Sydney have boards that you can try out before you buy – why not ask your local shop if they have any you can borrow.
The biggest problem I had with the quad was finding the correct fins to work on it – don’t be afraid to experiment – I currently use a stiff pair of carbon fins for the front two and a flexible pair on the back – also make sure you use rear thruster fins (double foiled) on the back to ensure you get all the drive that you need.
Hope this helps
i live in vb and so far i’ve regretted selling my mini mal so im stuck with my 5’10 shortboard and so far i have not surfed anything thats even worth cutting up since it is summer time we barely see anything until hurricanes come near, but my friend recently bought a quad tail and hes pretty satisfied with it he says there is more drive to it rarely having to pump on smaller days so yeah i would suggest a quad fish but i don’t know about hotline that company is a sell-out
Yeah, they are great for smaller waves.
