mini quad fish

I've been having the time of my life on these Mini boards, and it seemed right to integrate much of what I've learned from these smaller foils to what we already know from hand-shaping hundreds of quad fish.

The basic elements of the Mini Quad Fish are the same as my other Mini Boards:

- shorter, fuller outline

- rolled hull entry for lift onto the concaves

- scooped nose for less swing weight

- volume centered over the back 2/3 of the board

- single concave to spiral vee

The modified swallowtail adds a little more surface area to push off of than a traditional swallowtail, adding more drive to smaller platform.

~ Single to double-concave vee
~ Marine-ply fins by Daniel Partch
~ Tapered basswood stringers for flex and "variable rocker."
~ Shorter templates only -- 4'11" to 5'8".

~ 100% hand-shaped
