Bobby Quad

Introducing the Channel Islands Bobby Quad, a high-performance surfboard meticulously designed for surfers seeking to maximize their enjoyment during the petite summer swells typical to Santa Barbara. Conceived through the inspiration of Bobby Martinez, this model embodies the essence of fun and agility, aiming to compress phenomenal performance into a compact frame. At an ideal length of 5'2", the Bobby Quad exhibits a unique plan shape optimized to enhance speed and maneuverability. By shortening the rail line and strategically redistributing volume, the board not only glides effortlessly over flat sections but also allows for seamless transitions into signature turns—boistering both speed and engagement in less-than-ideal conditions.

The Bobby Quad features a low entry rocker paired with a flat planing surface designed to facilitate early wave entry, ensuring that you can paddle into the best waves with ease. The board’s sophisticated exit rocker and generous double concave bottom contours promote lift and rapid acceleration, making it ideal for gutless waves and ensuring a lively riding experience. This quad-fin configuration provides exceptional speed and hold, particularly during swift directional changes, while the modified swallow tail adds a versatile edge to its performance capabilities. As a versatile design, the Bobby Quad accommodates riders looking to maintain a shorter board, recommended to be 3” to 6” shorter than traditional shortboards, while maintaining a refined rail profile that enhances responsiveness without compromising stability. Ultimately, the Channel Islands Bobby Quad stands as a testament to innovation and performance in modern surfboard design, positioned to elevate any surfer’s summer experience on the waves.
