I had a chance today to ride The 6'6" X 30" Impossible.
Quad Rounded Pin Tail.
What a concept.
Looks like a Sasquatch Shoe.
Blunt nose with full rails up front, tapering back.
I'm at 185 pounds today with shoulder to head high waves.
You have got to be right in the spot to catch the wave.
No gliding in for me, you must place yourself in position right where the wave pitches.
With the Quad set up it is real fishy and requires some finesse
to work it down the line. I think there will be some tweeking to this design
that will make it really work! Wish I had it longer so I could experiment with
fins to get more drive out of it. Overall I was quite surprised with it's performance
and stability.
Rock On!

Interesting board. IMO I think there is a size limit of around 8' to 8'6" that is as small as
you need to go with SUP. Under that and I rekon the board would be too limited to certain
types of small waves.
You might want to "edit" your post and delete some of those pix. It's displaying weird.
Firstly im into my 60s and way to fat to be fit ... BUT ... I rode one in Bali in January ... the 6'6" Quad .... I had a long day at Cunguu which was shoulder high with two critical sections and it didnt take much to get used to the board ... Paddling on was hard So late take off were possible and necessary ... turning was skaty but perhaps I needed to get more rail in the turn ... and acceleration was good but if you were not paying attention, easy to stall ( bog down ) and easy to turn a simple turn into a pull out .. It was good to get back onto my 9 footer ..
Peter Cox rode it a lot at Nusa Dua and had it wired with incredible speed in the pocket and out of tight turns ..... "Incredible speed" were his words ...not mine ...
It paddles like a brick ... and it was luck for me that these two locations have reef access I would find it very difficult to paddle out through a shorebreak ...
