Nice looking board. I have a quad shorty by the greek - looks real similar. I love that board.

Yeah, Just got it yesterday. Sooo sweet. I barely have to paddle, early entry, holds super solid, and surprisingly when I get back on the tail, seems to perform as good as my shortboard. 5'8 x 20.5 x 2 3/8

I got lucky and was able to find this 5'8 in Encinitas. Last year I got a 5'6 Christenson quad fish. Life is good. Cheers

That is an impressive wax job. That would probably take me an hour.

nm-----------Glad you got it. Looks great. The stripes were a good idea. Ridden it yet? Now that Tony Chanin has closed his doors, Moonlight is the longest running high end Poly glass shop left in SD County.
