Looks great Lacey and interesting stuff on the design. I know for a fact Casso's DC rips and this one actaually looks similar in planshape.

Should be a sweet ride

Hey Lacey,the new board looks the goods,what's the width, thickness volume?,
you've had a few at 8'10" now,do you find this the best sup length?,
Cheers,
Camo.

hi, it's 29 wide,4 thick.i've got the 7'2" starboard to ride. the lenght caper is just me exploring the board and what i wont. by keeping the lenght the same, it's one less thing i have to factor in when deciding how the changes went.i will probably size down when i think i've got it sorted
cheers
ps the boards are real good, but part of surfing for me is tinkering around with them

really happy with the board,but i can't get the quad thing out of my mind after the 7'2" sb experiment. i might go and see mr piros seeing as he is the local quadman rep. i would also like to see some photo's of other people's quad setup's just to get an idea of positions if anyone would be kind enough to post them
cheers

Same placement as a SA 9'1 progressive mal

from memory they were 16"...

well, the deeds going to be done- going quad that is. thxs to lookie lookie and piros for their time. i went for the straightness for the sa quad with the measurement back from the front fins from rob's. my front fins were a 20 mm farther forward than both boards and couldn't get the width on my tail to fit robs side measurements. fingers crossed. probably got heaps of fin sizings changes coming up to look forward to
cheers

Bout friggin time!!!!!!! lol,

r0Bbr000oo
PS,my mate Karl(shaper/legend surfer) says put bigger fins in the tail and smaller fins up front?? dont ask him why,just knod and say"yes boss whatever you say boss" lol..............

Hey Lacey,

Put in that 5th fin option too, mate. If you don't like it you don't need to use it but if its not there you won't know the difference. I am going 5, for sure, on my next board. The fin placement in that pic looks just about right from what I have experimented with in my short boards.

I am in Adelaide this week so will start a new thread on the RSA trip when I get back to the Goldie next week.

hey mikeman, i extra fin at a time just picked up the board with back fins fitted and dale showed me his new board getting glassed up which is mine, but with a swallow tail and not pulled in as much.what a rip off
cheers
ps. i was so keen to surf it this afternoon, but the surf was so bad i couldn't find anything

I have been playing with the 5 fin configuration for a few years on my short boards. Once you get the right fin combo together its the real deal. I like the speed generation that you get out of the quad array and the turning drive from the extra 5th centre fin (I use a pretty small one here).

I had to leave my trusty 5 fin Dale made me in South Africa, unfortunately. This board has surfed P-Pass, G-Land, J bay, Ulus, Ghana, Raglan and I think it also went to Mexico. It was getting a little long in the tooth but what a board! The 7 fin configuration Dale made me is identical to the 5 fin (except we added 2 extra fins). I will get back on that one on the Goldie and get back into experimental mode...

So much experimenting... so little time! DC is there all the way helping with the R&D. I think he has as much fun as I do trying different things.
