Stringerless Quad Fish for Joe Curren

I met Joe in Brooklyn last July at an art opening and premier of Patrick Trefz' film "Thread"at the Mollusk NYC shop and we got to talking about quad fishes and the lack thereof in his quiver. He wanted a 5'6" with marine-ply CQCs, which would suit him better since he's accustomed to surfing a twin keel (see Thread and One California Day.)

The stringerless is a bit faster than my quad fish with a tapered stringer as they're shaped with a bit less tail rocker. Once you go into a big turn, the board flexes and twists, adding tail rocker and storing energy which is released coming out of turns. As you go down the line you can feel the board finding its own path of least resistance, with the fins and board flexing together. I glass them with 6+6 deck/6+6 bottom, as the extra weight is negligible relative to that feeling of flight.

More photos to come...

Missing the Mattsons

The twins have checked out of the Chateau Mollusca and have gone south for the winter to write some new tunes and find a shower that works. Anyone interested in good music should go visit their Myspace page here.
