The Goya Custom Quad has been one of 2XS’ most popular wave boards – the new Quad 9 is available in two constructions – the Pro Carbon and the new Pro Carbon Haiku Package.

The Haiku Package is between 250-500 grams lighter (depending on board size) – its primary difference is you get more carbon and less S Glass – you are looking at probably 75% carbon and 25% S Glass – it also includes an MFC board bag – and the mast track is slighter shorter and the ceramic finish.  From a handling point of view, this makes the Quad HP more responsive – when you up the construction you get more response out of the board – when you push the board out on the water you will get a better reaction out of the HP construction.

This is something that Goya, Quatro and KT have been working on – they can adjust the performance of a shape by simply changing the construction.

In the custom manufacturing world this is something you can do by the lay-up of the board so to have this in the production range it is quite a unique offering – they are pioneering their custom board production into the mass market!
