Lee from NSW, Australia says:

Took the Quickshift out today for the first time at Avoca Point on NSW Central Coast. Had a great surf so that implies the board performed very well. The board offers very good performance as I was surfing a tricky point wave with a ledgey takeoff surging next to rocks. Had some late takeoffs with board accelerating nicely upon landing in pocket. Set this board up as quad with addition of FCS G-XQ rear fins that you add to the M5 fins that come standard. This design really suits the quad as board has less drag and moves freely over dead spots and also does not get hung up at the takeoff. This means heaps of speed!! What most people do not realise is that the thruster has a major flaw and that is too much drag caused by the centre fin. This causes the board to hang up on takeoff and stall over dead spots The old single fins had minimal drag and now the quads have reduced drag with heaps of manoeuverability. Board will suit intermediate to advanced surfers who don't want the drawbacks of a PRO board. Good board for east coast OZ.
