5-4 Round Nose Fish Quad '08
by Matt Biolos
The RNFQ was radically redesigned in ’07. Featuring a new narrower nose than in the last few years, and a longer flatter rail rocker (with a more pronounced concave) through the middle of the board. Also with flipped tips in the nose and tail, to vee in the last 6” of the tail and most notably a deep single wing set far back into the outline. The deep wing (influenced by MR's vintage twin fins) adds more control to the high speeds generated due to the deeper concaves and faster bottoms.
The narrower nose frees things up for more radical pocket turning without sacrificing drive off the front foot. Quads are a great opportunity to get the same free and loose feel of a twin but have added holding power and drive, allowing for harder turns and a wider range of performance in more varied surf. Enjoy playing with a multitude of fin setups and positions for different feels in different conditions. A fun and functional update to the ...Lost Classic.
