Originally designed to be ridden exceptionally short, this high-performance quad combines a compact outline with carefully distributed volume to generate speed, skate over flat sections and still deliver the responsiveness needed for critical manoeuvres. Its low entry rocker and flat planing surface help the board accelerate quickly and maintain momentum, while the performance-oriented exit rocker and generous double concave provide added lift and control. A wider tail and modified swallow tail work together to deliver speed and hold through quick directional changes. Although designed for small summer waves, the Bobby Quad can also be scaled up for surfers looking to increase their wave count without sacrificing performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-spread=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHigh-Performance Quad Design:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Combines the speed and drive of a quad setup with a responsive, performance-focused outline.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSmall-Wave Specialist:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Designed to excel in smaller, weaker surf and make the most of gutless conditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLow Entry Rocker:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Helps generate speed and get into waves with less effort.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlat Planing Surface:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Promotes acceleration and helps maintain momentum across flatter sections.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDouble Concave Bottom:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Provides added lift and speed for fast, flowing surfing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eModified Swallow Tail:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Combines tail width with hold and control during quick directional changes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVersatile Sizing:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Can be ridden shorter and wider than a standard shortboard, or scaled up for increased wave-catching potential.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFin Setup:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Designed for your favourite quad fin templates.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecommended Sizing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Bobby Quad is generally designed to be ridden \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3–6 inches shorter and ¼–½ inch wider\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e than your regular shortboard.
