If you order waves, you won't always get waves, but the Quatro Power is at least the board with the best possible wave suitability in this group. Even without giving much impetus, the board rolls "rail to rail" almost like a pure wave board. This is noticeable immediately after the start, as the narrowest board in the group feels more wobbly than a JP Freestyle Wave, for example, even when bobbing. However, despite having plenty of wave genes - such as the small fin dimensions - it surfs more than decently in the Langebaan lagoon.
The board doesn't just look like carbon, it also gives the very comfortable foot pads a lot to do, because it is sporty and tight over choppy water - if you hit a wave, it rattles. However, after a rather well-behaved planing phase, the board always glides very freely over the waves and barely touches the chop. Alternatively, a single fin would also suit the sporty and stable riding experience. The outer strap positions also offer a very ergonomic stance on the round deck.
The outstanding turning ability in a straight line - no other board is easier to edge to leeward or windward at full speed - is demonstrated with relish in front of the wave, but also in the jibe: Even the tightest turns can be pressed into the choppy water with a lot of grip and very securely. The board never struggles, but willingly pulls tighter and tighter. Even in wide radii, the confident smoothness can be found on the edge, although the high entry speed cannot always be fully carried through to the exit of the turn. Jibes are therefore particularly versatile, safe and easy. However, the strength remains the outstanding turning ability, which brings the board close to pure wave shapes.
Surf summary of the Quatro Power 4 94
A direct, extremely manoeuvrable board that is superior in the waves, but can also impress as a freerider in flat water, especially in constant planing winds, and is easy to jibe even in difficult conditions.
