The K Small

MODEL DESCRIPTION:
Al Merrick and Kelly Slater have completely redesigned the Ksmall for 2007 to incorporate changes that were made during his 2006 World Title run. It now has a more relaxed entry rocker, completely new bottom contours and a wider tail. This board is engineered to be faster and looser than any of his previous small wave models. Due to Kelly’s recent experimentation the Ksmall is also available in a quad fin set-up. Kelly finds, as a quad, the board feels much freer out of turns than his tri fin. Built up to 6’8”.

Bing Single-wing Quad (Q2)

MODEL DESCRIPTION:
The Bing Single-wing Quad is a modified version of the MR twin-fin of the late 1970s with a slightly flatter rocker and fuller outline. Progressing from the original twin-fin setup, Matt Calvani has added two smaller back fins to give the board more control and responsiveness. Working well in every day conditions from knee-high to double overhead waves, this board is ideal for longboarders looking to ride a smaller mid-length boards with plenty of glide.

Firewire Quadraflex

MODEL DESCRIPTION:
The QUADRAFLEX Series combines the control of an Alternator thruster with teh top end speed of a twin fin. We�ve pushed the wide point back slightly to create a fuller tail, while still maintaining an even curve throughout. Combined with future shapes techonology, the result is an extremely fast, loose surfboard, capable of handling a variety of conditions. We suggest you ride the Quadraflex an inch or two shorter then your regular shortboard.

Stretch 5’11” F4 TL2

MODEL DESCRIPTION:
The half-moon template elongates the rail-line for a positive drive and release off the tail. The deck channels give added strength while moderating a progressive flex pattern into the four fins.

Danny Hess Lola Quad

MODEL DESCRIPTION:
The Lola Qaud is a sleeker high performance outline that glances toward the conventional thruster in its use of rocker / foil and rail elements, at the same time retaining the look and feel of the modern fish. This combination creates a very maneuverable, truly versatile surfboard that can be pushed well beyond the limits of a more traditional fish outline.

The incorporation of recyclable and sustainable materials, and a design approach that emphasizes both the strength and performance capabilities of each surfboard, result in a process that has less environmental impact than a conventional surfboard.

Daniel Hess builds each board integrating materials with a lower environmental impact such as:

Reclaimed and sustainably harvested wood Cork- a renewable resource EPS foam- a recyclable surfboard foam Epoxy - which emits very low Volatile Organic Compounds and does not require solvents for clean up

Each board uses approximately one half the fiberglass of a conventional surfboard, and is far stronger due to the impact strength of the sandwich construction.

Each surfboard has a lifespan far longer than a conventional surfboard because the wood does not fatigue and break down the way foam can. The end result is a beautiful, strong, high perfomrance surfboard that lasts longer than conventional boards and has a reduced environmental impact.
