2012 fanatic Quad TE/GDS
Our silky 2nd generation Quad line’s leapt to a different level. New rounded pintail shapes built for the 4-fin concept give ultimate, dragless traction from slab surf to slush. Now earlier-planing thanks to wider outlines, smart volume flow and less tail kick, they’re faster too with a flat power section between the straps. All the extra acceleration and speed complements the tight turning ability from higher scoop entry, shorter length, awesome pintail release and extra fin toe grip for cranking it on. Now sporting the lighter, streamlined Slot Box and a broader spectrum of size choice there’s a clean-carving Quad for you. Available in 75 and 81 litre options in no-compromise Carbon Kevlar Light Team Edition (TE) and 75 / 81 in GDS as a lightweight, yet affordable alternative. All with quality Choco fins and weight-saving matt finish bottoms.
Key Features:
- Slot Box fin system for reduced drag
- Wide planshape, CAD-Engineered double concaves and supportive longitudinal volume flow with fast tail for low-end power
- Compact outline, fin toe and scoop nose entry for tight pocket carving and projection
- 90 deg rounded pintails for the smoothest finishing of turns

2012 starboard kode wood carbon
The three smallest sizes are most wave orientated. They fit the classic description of 'down-the-line sideshore wave boards'. Their speed and maneuverability make them good freestylers as well, although windsurfers nowadays may find them too small for anything other than the occasional high-wind move.
The three middle sizes are a balanced blend between wave, freestyle and freeride. 86 litres remains a popular size for wave riding, so the 86 maintains a strong wave emphasis.
The Kode Freestyle Waves are exclusively single fin boards.
- The range that blends wave, freestyle and freeride.
- - 80 : classic down-the-line style wave riders with high-wind freestyle ability
- - 86 : perfectly balanced blend between wave, freestyle and freeride
- Heel bumpers (80) and contoured Sponge Pads (86) for more comfort.

2010 starboard quad wood carbon

Quads produce an enormous amount of drive. There’s a lot of fin area spread out over the tail, so when you push the fins, they work together to channel the water’s energy into the board. They create extra drive and speed and they can do this whether you’re making long drawn-out turns, or tight squirty turns. Go where you want, when you want and generate more speed on the wave face. Ride faster, ride more vertical.
Why is the front fin larger than the back fin?
Starboard SUP and also surfboard shapers have been utilizing quads for some time now, with many high profile surfers such as Kelly Slater experimenting with these designs. Starboard R&D have tried nine different fin setups multiplied by different stiffness configurations and found that there was a lot of extra drive and a quicker board-turning initiation created by having a set of larger fins forward of a set of smaller back fins. The front fins have a size tuning range from 16 to 11cm.
