Nah, got caught inside. I might add I'm no hero when it comes to waves like that. I would have prefered to just surf Namotu. That's my kind of wave.
I'm happy to leave it to young chargers like The Mighty to take on the pros for waves like that.....and the boat crew.

Saltman more ride reports on your *Four Play, Quartley Addiction, The Forth Wheel etc..,you can't call it a Quartet.

* name not made up. Rabbidge model.

Have to put pics up? Purchos bottom contours are so subtle, yours the same?
Very sure footed fast and responsive, carries momentum well into turns (when i do them)
Only variation from NPJ quartet is a little more single concave (3mm) up front, with a subtle double inside down the back going to vee out the tail
Flat deck with forward foil (hides 4 inches of rocker)
and a pronounced bevel from the deck - to keep the rails refined the length of the board

What fins are those front fins?

How does that result in a broken board?
Have you ever surfed Cloudbreak?
Its not like shallow reef breaks munch boards up like a steamroller or anything.

I have seen a brand new Channel Islands board snapped in two foot Lombok.

I've seen a channel islands board snap when a small dog farted one suburb over.

Great shapes, terrible glassing.

Front fins are MR78 twins. Generic brand
Rears are 3.6 inch flat foils I have since got 3.25 inch rears in this pic
So the setup is identical to npjs
I've pondered why Purch doesn't accentuate the single concave a bit for a bit of lift. Wouldn't mind hearing how it goes in the juice.

Mine is developing spider web crack lines in multiple spots. Still no pressure dings on the deck though.

I treat my boards like crap, if they look too new then I'm guessing they are not being ridden. Core? You bet?
