Introducing the new Quad IQ: the first adaptable multi-fin wave board. A board with five integrated fin settings to match every wave and all wind conditions.
Adapt yourself. With the new, intelligent, Quad IQ
Onshore setting: maximum drive, lots of grip and extra upwind power. Great for onshore jumps too. The back fin adjusts forwards to loosen up the board, or backwards to stabilize the board.
Sideshore setting: Smoother arc through the turns with controlled power for precise maneuvering. Adjust the back fins forwards or backwards to fine-tune between looseness and stability.
Skate setting: the choice for fast, powerful waves and a skatey feel. The twin fin setting allows the tail to breakout for top turn slashes and takas.
Starboard's new Slot Box: the new box system fundamental to the IQ concept. Designed to be extra light, it weighs 70% lighter than a US box. Quad boards fitted with Slot Boxes weighed, on average, 640g lighter than those using conventional boxes. It has 3cm of adjustment room and current US based fins can also be cut to fit. The custom-manufactured bolts fit the same screwdriver as your footstraps, making them effective against sand, keeping the system simple and hassle-free.
Construction:WoodCarbon - the lightest, stiffest option; Wood - extra light, rigid and with the test team's favourite feel.
Shape: Forward Vee that spirals into reduced vee between the feet and ending in a monoconcave in the tail. The forward vee increases the engaging rail's angle of attack when the board is carving, which creates extra drive into the turn. The monoconcave channels the water through the tail and allows for a flatter rocker for more speed and quicker planing. The tail rocker has extra tail kick to keep the board free and loose. Rails are soft and rounded like surfboards - keeps the ride flowing and smooth.
