New.  Excellent condition. Fins included. The Canard Quad Cutaway....Invented by Rich Pavel in the mid-1980's as the next logical step in the evolution of the fish, with an updated cutaway section for 2006. When combined, the fin outline of the Canard Quad Cutaway (CQC) fin template follows that of its predecessor, the Twin Keel. The CQC has the same fin surface area and holding power as a Twin Keel, but with added release through the fin cluster. By taking the Twin Keel fin template, a low aspect-ratio fin, and dividing it up into two separate high aspect-ratio foils, you get a single-foil leading fin which gives you plenty of drive, and a double-foil trailer which provides a tremendous amount of stability through big powerful turns. This quad fin cluster allows for water flow channeled towards the tail to flow through the fin cluster, making the board much more forgiving backside. The result is an integrated fin set-up that allows for a more progressive and vertical approach to the blinding speed of the fish platform. The best choice for those transitioning from a traditional twin keel fish.The board is available for local pick-up in the Washington, DC area.  I can also meet up in northern or southern NJ, VA Beach, or CO, MD/DE in the coming weeks.  I will professionally pack ($25 charge) and ship anywhere if purchaser makes shipping arrangements.  (I'd be happy to take the board free of charge to a shipper in the metro DC area that purchaser makes C.O.D. arrangements for shipping.)
