104 Fanatic Freewave quad

104 Fanatic Freewave Penta?

great poking project...

be interesting to see how it goes,

often the tail rocker and shape is quite different from quad to single, and especially in that model.

keep us posted

Haa - you sound like my wife Zubby

Its a shed - a free space to make all the mess I want - to drink beer, fart and burp and listen to the footy on a Saturday arvo and pretend I'm doing something useful when theres no wind or surf

I'm starting to turn into my old man - ahhhhhhhh

Looks good Russ, i got the QS350 set from MFC for the 103 quad and love them
Are u gonna make a blank for the single centre or make it a Quinffff (whatever the word for five is)

Cheers Guys I have been having fun but would do it differently if I did it again - I,m looking forward to running the QS 400 fins in it - may give it a maiden voyage with home made fronts and 15cm JP rears this weekend - I am a little worried that the boxes wont handle the rigors of windsurfing as they are Shapers 7" US long board boxes ($7.25 each) and seem to be about 3 -5 ml shallower than the JP boxes on my 82 Quad and not as solid. The chinook boxes were $30 odd dollars each and 1" longer - Should have used futures boxes & fins for front with the us boxes at the rear and a set of MFC Levi twins in the rear - 20/20 hindsight

The front right slightly shifted in final setting as I had an epoxy overflow and had to adjust my pressure devices before they became attachd and my sealed boxes full of resin by epoxy. 1 1/2 ml toe in and - the thing could be all over the place.

I probably should have glued them in divynicell and then epoxy with a final 60z matt to solidly finish them.
If it works and they crack I may route them out and start again.

I will either sacrifice an old Pbox fin or cut up and shape a nylon breadboard and drill it out to reduce weight a little to fit in the hole

Havent done any fibreglass work for ages - jeeze its fun - but it ceratinly gives you an appreciation of the just how good the shapers glassers and repairers are that get our boards looking scmicko from the start

Now that 99 JP single thruster would work as a quad I reckon

Thanks Gareth - I'll drop you a line.

Maiden voyage at mid 15 - 20 knt 5.7 crosson - planes nice and early and turns sweetly - very pleasantly surprised - looking forward to some cross off waves
