Mod QWAD Twinzer Nub Session #1
Hi Wayne,
I got in a quick first session on the Qwad this morning. The first thing that is very apparent is although the board is close to 2.9" thick, the rails are foiled, which makes rail to rail transition much easier and effortless. It rides very loose and skatey and that is exactly what I was looking for. I was able to pick off a few good corners and had a complete blast on it. It paddles well for a 5'10" and gets into waves easy, lean my weight on the front foot and the board just takes off, lean back over the fins and snapping turns are effortless. To be honest, I was a bit worried about going 5'10", but now that I have ridden it, I could have probably gone down to 5'8".
Another amazing board! Maybe a little 5'8" stubby Dyna Glyde is in near future for me. :)
Thank you.
