FD QUAD
Actively generate speed with ease. Loose and lively.
I was looking for a groveller that would suit small Japanese waves and waves around home I started working on the FD quad. I was looking for something that generated speed quickly from the start without having to work too hard. The board has a flat deck with rail chime running from the nose then blending out in-between your feet. Injecting extra foam throughout the board without having the foam distribution reverse like a beak creates. Concave throughout the whole board with the option of a spiral vee tail exit for added grip and drive or a flat tail to loosen the board and give more release.
This is a board for knee to over head waves. Would suit anyone wanting an active style small wave board.
CUSTOM GLIDER ORDER
ORDER PROCESS
Ordering typically begins with a face-to-face consultation at my studio in Bells Beach. Alternatively, the consultation can take part over email or a phone call. During this process we discuss all the adjustments needed to make the board specific to the surfer.
Turnaround time is around 8 to 10 weeks depending on current work load.
COLOUR
Colour work is a way for me to have a dual response to board expression. Studying Josef Albers ‘Interaction of Colour’ and working with my father Simon Buttonshaw and brother Raphael Buttonshaw, deepened my exploration of colour and its relationship to how surfboards look and feel in the ocean. We can discuss this further throughout the ordering process to find a colourway that connects with you.
FINS
The most positive feedback as been from the True Ames solid glass set. Part of the True Ames in-house designed collection, the TA Quad is our take on a well-rounded, versatile, and go-to option for your favorite 4-fin set up. These fins were built for high-speed surfing, control, arcing turns, and smooth directional changes. The solid glass construction, paired with the medium body and rake lends towards a solid feeling underfoot that will really excel in surf in the knee to overhead range.
