Custom Quatro 7'8" x 27", 118 liters. I asked for an oversized Goya Custom 4 w paper thin rails and that's what I received.
I use the board for flukey and light side to side off conditions. My two fav spots are next to some high profile jetties where wind in the takeoff zone is often unreliable. Sometimes water starting my smaller boards is a long wait and up-hauling is the only option, after several sessions, she's a keeper. Keith added a more pronounced rolled V and slightly more rocker than my Custom 4's, rails are paper thin like a 70-80 liter Custom 4. My first session was a 20 degree side-off day, 7-18 kts, waist to rib high waves. Slogged out, tacked, trolled for a set wave and the first hard bottom turn and off the top had me smiling. I've since had it out in head high semi-close out beach breaks and she loves it.
I really think Quatro or Goya should add this to the production line. :)
PS. I ordered this because I'm not a fan of the narrower corky boards boards w the same volume, not when I'm slogging and tacking, trolling for waves. I also wanted the thin rails of my 70-80 liter boards, I like cutting butter! ??
Almost like a performance SUP with straps and less rocker, very sexy.
I'd ride this for around half my windsurfing sessions then step down to a 90L rather than my current 105/85 quiver which isn't that fun a lot of the time.

Exactly. When the crew is debating whether to go out, I don't hesitate. 
Great move shlogger .... anything that gets you more TOW .... and be able to get back in ... is a win .... good effort ....
I use a 110 ltr twin .... and sometimes wallowing out with my 13 yo son him on a 94ltr quad , riding super light side/side off waves .... in crazy light uphaul only winds .... you get a little workout - no need to go to the gym ever , no wasted fuel , and cold beer earnt ....
and I love seeing kites parked on the beach at the same time ...
Beautiful looking board. The understated graphics really pop. Looks like a surfboard.
That's because it's got no footstraps on it yet.
Seriously though, looks very nice. Is it a quad and just out of interest, are the fin boxes toed in ?
Sexayyyy , this looks awesome to me,
quad or thruster ?
How is the planning in +15 knots with that curvier rocker ?
And could you tell us a little more on how went the process of ordering a custom to KT :
Did you order online or did you go to Maui and had the chance to talk to him in person ?

I ordered it online and talking to Pascal. Basically told him I wanted my Quatro Custom 4 104 but in these dimensions. It is a Quad, but I do prefer it in Twin Mode if there's any chance of planing on the way out. Quad mode if only wave riding. Planes about as quickly as a Goya 4 80-90ish board. I asked for the thinner rails of the 80ish liter board so maybe there was some confusion on which rocker. The Goya 4 104 is flatter than the smaller siblings. But it works. Fins are slightly towed in. Ultra light construction, though regular would of been fine. No color or graphics as it's cheaper.

Planes up line most quads. I never rig bigger than a 5.2 just for ease of handling. Depending on time of year, it can take a few months for delivery. Shipping was easy and affordable as they were able to Delta freight it here.

Repairs are so much easier when it's plane white as well. ;)

Repent now or be labeled a straight box denier.
Awesome board !! What is this hexagonal spot in front of the mast track in one of the pics? A sticker?

Hex traction pad stick on by RSPro. I guess all the quick tacks took down the non-skid pretty quick. I noticed the non skid wasn't as aggressive as a lot of factory boards.
Interesting board !
The fins looks pretty far back to me with the leading edge in the middle of the back strap. I would have expected to see the leading egde aligned with the front screw of the back strap.

As you can see I was riding in twin fin mode so I had the fins all the way back in the boxes. Albeit there's only a centimeter or so of adjustment available. In quad mode I like to move everything forward. In twin mode it's faster and planes quicker; in quad mode it's slower but more squishy and loose. Both modes I was able to break fins out on the off the tops. Board def makes me smile.
Has me windsurfing on days I'd normally wing. But sometimes you just want to get that full on visceral feeling of full contact w the wave. Side off wave-sailing will always be my first love, something that's just impossible to explain to someone who hasn't experienced it.

Ive been getting back into twins a bit recently - and been lining up as Shlogger pic has - Lead edge in middle of strap - and pretty sure that's how I used to ride twins back in the day .... (I had to go back and check my measurements as I coudlnt remember ) ...so I think he's got them perfect in pics for twin ...

How many liters are you above your weight?
