Owners Rating:
The Mod Quad is a modern quad-fin shortboard built for everyday conditions, grown out of the hybrid quads Lost has made for Shane Beschen and Michael Ho in Hawaii. It runs a low overall rocker with a fast entry and drivey tail, an exaggerated rail line rocker that creates deep single concave between the feet, hyper-extending through the tail into a noticeable vee behind the rear fin. The wide, skatey outline has a full nose and a set-back wide point that swoops into a moderate swallow, keeping speed in weaker surf while the quad setup adds drive and hold. Meant to be ridden 2 to 3 inches shorter and a fair bit wider than a performance thruster.

Under Your Feet

Loose and skatey in the way quads usually are, but with the vee out the back stopping it short of feeling unhinged. It builds speed almost passively, so you spend the wave choosing what to do rather than working for the chance to do it. The rolled deck and refined rails keep the wide plane shape from feeling like a plank.

When it's pumping

  • The quad grips harder than the width suggests it should. 
  • Draws a slightly wider arc than a thruster.

When it's fair

  • The low rocker and surface area keep it moving through mushy sections. 
  • Stand on the tail and it pivots, which on a gutless day is the whole game.
