THE ALTERNATIVE SURF CULTURE: THE QUADRATIC SLIDING MACHINE BY "MONCHITO SHAPES"

Since I start to surf again after a 10 year forced academic sabatic the surfboard world changed completely. I was shoked that Clark Foam closed and amazed about the new materials and designs that evolved from this caos. Inmediately bought the new thing in the block, Surftech, but it was like plastic and the feel was like a hightech cork. Then I try Firewire, but extremly high performance for my habilities and finaly XTR which was a happy medium between the too. All extremly durable and light but the feeling when surfed, was never as polyurethane. At the end, back to basics. There's nothing like a hand made PU wave vehicle. in the comeback I was descovering the benefits of the fish and the magic of the quad fins. Wider boards are more stable and the quad was giving me the quickness of a grom. As older you get wiser. Getting update was the rule, and the blogs open a closed window. Reading an article by Rusty, he recapitulated the benefits of a reverse vee in front foot dominant surfer, going wider and the complements of the quad. Also Blair from California and Muzza from Base Surfboards in Australia was accentuating the combination of the round pin with the quad for improve control. After combining this data and the talent of "Monchito Shapes" this surfboard was born.
