fastest.board.ever
i rode my new pod over the weekend (see pix below). it's the fastest board i've ever set foot on. and the quad setup turns like a dream. you can turn with tons of confidence, no fear, just push and voila you have already switched direction lickety split. the board is similar to a speeddialer, but without the double wing tail and (i think) a bit less rocker. i probably could have had the board made as a 5'10, but it's nearly perfect for me as it is, and it's really, really nice.

Dude mine is dreamy too. I found its great when the waves are fat, it likes pumping and doing cutties, but dude what blew me away was riding it in hollow waves. My thruster's a bit big and chicama was shoulder high with long, tight barrels. I took at my Derrem with three fins, and did one lap back to El Hombre and just wasn't getting anywhere, I kept getting smashed by the lip. Stuck the quad's in and re stocked on sunny and choccy and that just changed it all. I was getting off the bottom a wee bit quicker and then just drawing in high on the wave and it just went faster, I made one long one and still got smashed a lot but was making it further for sure. I've had similar experiences since.
