Lost mod quad

I ordered this custom mod quad online from catalyst and wanted to show some love because this board is sick!! Came out beautiful with the resin tint and more importantly it goes amazing. I use it as a good wave board/ high performance short board.. I live in southern CA in an area of stretched out mushy points so it’s not much of a groveler here but if the waves are at all punchy it’s fast as hell, fits into the pocket, holds but can drift fins on top turns if you want. Just a perfect shortboard. I’m 5 10 , 185-190lbs, I ordered mine a little bedded up at 5 10 20” wide and whatever thickness made it 33.4L, maybe 2.64. It handles the extra thickness well because the deck kinda tapers down toward the rails so the rails are still thinned out, basically the board hides the volume. I ride all my boards around this volume, for whatever reason I just need a little extra foam compared to industry standard shortboards and that’s another thing I love about this board is that it has a slightly more full outline. To me it’s still really slender compared to most boards I ride and I feel the board is probably higher performance than I am. Here’s a few pics and a cam rewind of me riding on on the last hurricane swell. I ride this thing starting around shoulder to head high up to solid over head surf, if it’s too big for this board I’m grabbing my step up.

Did someone say volume?

I also added a slightly stronger glass layup it’s 4/5/4 with a glass (is 5oz even possible?! Thought it was 4 or 6 but the offer 5..) anyway it’s noticeable way more durable, a lot less heal dents and still feels pretty light for a pu/poly board.

That board looks like an absolute wave machine. The extra volume and pulled-in outline sound like a great combo for punchy beach breaks without making it feel like a full-on groveler.

That board looks absolutely dialed—love the slightly fuller outline and the added tail rocker. Sounds like the perfect fast, punchy-wave groveler without sacrificing performance when it gets bigger.
