He also added that it had to be a quad, and it still had to live up to his high-performance standards. Bobby’s shortboards are 5’8” but for this customized four-finner he was thinking we ought to take it down to 5’2”. By shortening the rail line and distributing the volume into the width throughout the plan shape he’d be able to skate over the flats and carry enough speed to still fit in his signature gauges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"xmsonormal\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e·FEATURES·\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xmsonormal\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Bobby Quad has a \u003cstrong\u003elow entry rocker\u003c\/strong\u003e that goes into a \u003cstrong\u003eflat planing surface\u003c\/strong\u003e under the gas pedal portion of the board that \u003cstrong\u003eprovides the speed\u003c\/strong\u003e to get into waves and over those flat sections.  The exit rocker and bottom contours are designed to be all business - with \u003cstrong\u003eperformance oriented flip\u003c\/strong\u003e and generous \u003cstrong\u003edouble concave\u003c\/strong\u003e for added lift to help Bobby boogie down the line in gutless waves.  Its tail rocker profile, combined with some width in the tail and \u003cstrong\u003emodified swallow,\u003c\/strong\u003e provide speed and hold during quick directional changes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: none;\" alt=\"Channel Islands - BOBBY QUAD - 5'8\u0026quot; - 20 1\/8 - 2 5\/8 - 33,8L - CI25629\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/0673\/files\/Pukas-Surf-Shop-Channel-Island-Surfboards-Bobby-Quad-Al-Merrick-5_8_-CI25629-12.jpg?v=1676391016\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"xmsonormal\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e·Best conditions·\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xmsonormal\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe model is designed to\u003cspan class=\"apple-converted-space\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ebe ridden 3” to 6” shorter and ¼” to 1\/2” wider than your shortboard.

The rail stays nicely foiled (not chunky) at fuller dimensions, so to maintain the integrity of the design we recommend adding thickness over width to hit your volume. As for fins, we recommend you run your favorite quad templates.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CHANNEL ISLANDS SURFBOARDS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57029750686020,"sku":"T4","price":810.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/0673\/files\/Pukas-Surf-Shop-Channel-Island-Surfboards-Bobby-Quad-Al-Merrick-5_4_-CI42148-1.jpg?v=1784723198","url":"https:\/\/pukassurfshop.com\/products\/channel-islands-surfboards-bobby-quad-54-x-19-3-4-x-2-3-8-27-4l-ci42148","provider":"PUKAS SURF SHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
