Feeling
The new Custom Quad has a more connected feel to the water during the turn, it has an instant response to rider input and goes exactly where you want it to go. Reduced swing weight means the Custom Quad feels lighter and more balanced during maneuvers. Faster, earlier planning with less drag due to the new rocker keeps the board planning through lulls for longer. Overall a much lighter, more efficient board with a more responsive and engaging feel.
Construction
A holistically reimagined construction process, consisting of a unique blend of Biaxial, Uni-Directional, and Plain Weave into our proprietary Carbon Monocoque - connecting mast track and stance to rails and bottom, forming a cohesive whole - as well as a full S-Glass hull, enables us to now craft boards identical to our custom boards built on Maui. A tailored Hyper Skin sandwich layout creates the ultimate strength-to-weight ratio. S-glass rail bands provide ideal torsional strength without adding weight or stiffness.
Description
With over two years of evolution and over two decades in the making, generation 8 of the Custom Quad is our pinnacle wave board. Improved efficiency and volume distribution with reduced friction and increased water flow allowed us to augment the overall curve of the board and shorten the new Custom Quad without losing any of the lengthier previous generation’s fastness. Putting us deeper into the most critical section of the wave, right where we want to be, but with more speed and turnability under our feet. A word on weight, custom-built US boxes for lightness and compatibility, and removed deck sticker for lightness and sustainability. 9 world champion titles, between Marcilio Browne, Maria Morales, Marino Gil, and Francisco Goya, from its original design to its exuberant evolution, this is the off-the-shelf board our team, from Juniors to Pros, chooses to ride and compete and win on, decade after decade. Generation 8 is only one big step better, again.
Drive
The combination of a more efficient rocker, bottom shape, and rail taper creates a much faster board.
Shape
World Cup wave board: quick to plane, turns on a dime. Fine-tuned to work as a quad without compromise.
Agility
The more compact outline means you can do turns you never thought were possible and the extra speed sends you into the most radical of moves.
Bottom
V at the front blending into double concave finishing in single concave out of the tail creating a faster and more forgiving bottom shape.
Rocker
Higher nose entry and lower tail rocker create earlier planning and a super fast feeling by reducing drag.
Outline
Shorter and more compact, it increases the outline curve for better maneuverability.
Rails
More surfy and forgiving up front, fast and precise at the back. Thicker and more full in front of the mast track constantly tapering towards the tail reduces drag.
Nose
A more sleek and aerodynamic nose for minimum drag. Gradually reduced reinforcements towards the front of the board create a super light nose feeling, greatly reducing the swing weight.
Tail
Drop swallow tail for faster water release and better durability.
Pads
Dual Density Pads, redesigned from the ground up, provide better grip and comfort. A new layout and optimized dual-density blend means you have the right support and cushioning where you need it whilst saving weight and minimizing drag. The new patterns are angled in just the right direction to give you maximum comfort and connection to the board.
Fins
The new Quad Carbon construction is designed to handle various wind and wave conditions. It is ready for you to ride in any ocean conditions. Built upon the renowned K300, this wave set represents the ultimate upgrade in both construction and design. The new profile provides a distinct advantage in low-end and lighter winds. Additionally, with a slight increase in surface area at the tip, the new boards can plane earlier and maintain better control during wave riding. The Carbon Composites lay-up has boosted the Top Speed by maintaining a steady flex and torsion. This set provides the best upgrade for an ultimate performance boost.
Waves
For all waves, anywhere, anytime. Small, medium, big. Side, on, off.
Design
By letting the laminate texture virtually become the artwork, eliminating the need for stickers, we both significantly reduce the overall weight and stop the use of plastic in our product graphics. With these boards, form doesn't just follow function, the function is the form. We call it Tech-Reveal finish.
Stock Model
A Goya Windsurfing Stock Model represents our current line, and in that our latest shapes, tech and components. This board is built by hand and features the advanced construction, build quality and level of attention otherwise only experienced in a Custom Model.
Volume
Volume and support exactly where you need it. A completely new volume flow creates a flatter and more stable standing area when not planning, increasing in dome between the foot straps and towards the tail creating a more stable yet more responsive feel.
Fin boxes & Mast Track
All new bespoke Quatro US fin and mast track boxes designed in-house and exclusive to Goya and Quatro are lighter and stronger than conventional boxes. A completely new design, we have created a much lighter and stronger US Box. 4 x 5.5 inch US Boxes, and 7-inch mast track box. 50% lighter. 100g saving per box.
Tail Pad Kick
Surf-inspired and improved to save weight, the tail kick gives you that locked-in feel, grip, and confidence during maneuvers and turns.
Foot Straps
New look, latest generation MFC foot straps with size measurement guide on both Velcro pieces to ensure you always get the exact size you need.
Inserts
Double foot strap inserts on the back strap for better durability and a more locked-in feel, single on the front, for lightness. Anti-twist washers are included for the front straps.
Vent Plug
Standard vent screw facilitates travel and provides longevity.
