The Modern Quad was designed to move fast, glide and turn on a dime.
This model was created for two reasons.
First we wanted to bridge the gap for those surfing on a soft top or "fun board" and are now looking for something shorter and easier to maneuver. We want to help accelerate the learning curve. The feedback has been awesome from close friends that have been making that transition in their surfing.
Secondly we wanted to create a board that worked on those slower, high tide days. We designed it with experienced surfers in mind that could shed a little paddle effort but also maximize drive and maneuverability to its fullest.
Features: The outline is fairly straight and moves forward really well. Rails are full, extra foam under the chest with a beak nose.
The water pushes nicely through a single concave under the front of the board, blending into a double concave through the quad set up and out the back. There's also a really fun / free feeling because of the tail width.
In the Modern Quad I really enjoyed the Tom quad set by Futures Fins -
futuresfins.com/products/tomo...
The Tomo Quad, designed by Daniel Thompson of Tomo Surfboards, is a unique fin set-up designed around the El Tomo Fish model.
With such a futuristic appearance, it’s no surprise these fins create the most speed and sharpest turns imaginable.
The majority of the fin sits deep in the water, creating lift and acceleration. In combination with the flat foil front and rear fins, the cut-away base allows for quick direction changes, and maneuverability.
Undeniably, they’re something everybody who loves quads must try.
Template Category - Pivot (tight-turns | quick)
Construction - Fiberglass
Ride Number - Balanced - 7.9
Suggested Wave Type - Beach breaks | In the pocket
Size - Medium Quad (145-175 lbs)

Pagan boards go so good! I’ve only tested, but definitely looking to pick one up soon. Thanks for taking the time to share this review.
Matt is so approachable - it's epic to be able to chat with the shaper and really dial in on the perfect board!
Appreciate the shout out brother! Pagan crafts have been awesome to explore a new side of my surfing 🙏🏽
Yes! Been loving watching you transform into the Californian Asher Pacey! Haha!
On a serious note, the boards have been looking good under your feet and I think suit the waves within an hour radius of you guys!
Means a lot! Much love@@TheSurfboardGuide
I have 2 of the modern twins
Both ride incredibly well
Great shaper and surfer. Well done Matt ❤
Right on! Matt's boards are great, keen to explore some other craft down the track...
The man, the myth the legend ....... Craigy!
Hahah! Thanks mate!
Board looks sick!
Yeah, super fun and so easy to surf!
Awesome review Craig! Every board review makes me want one
Yes, thanks! Yeah it's a dangerous thing to get into...
Now you're primed by the El Tomo hatchets it's time to take the leap and try some S wings. You're a thruster guy at heart. Get yourself some pro 440s. Also you mention frequently you're enjoying the mid length boards but shortboarder to the core. You should try Lost's crowd killer. It will give you the shortboard turns you love in a mid length package.
Hey! I might grab some S-wings, I was chatting to them! But im not interested in riding Lost surfboards… 😂
always great info...
Thanks - appreciate the feedback!
Board looks great. Love quads
Yes, love a good quad! The drive from them is amazing!
Could literally see what you were saying about the fins timing. I actually noticed it in your clips before you began to articulate it.
Cracking job Craigo👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks - yeah once it felt natural I really liked them, but at first I had no idea what was going on... Haha!
Great review! Would love to see you do a review of the JS industries El Baron!!
Yeah, I tried to connect with JS but they weren't interested...
Epic turn on your last wave ... Spray for days
Heavy man + rail = spray
Hahaha!
Ripping Craig!
Thanks legend - love the board!
Is the Channel Islands M23 on your radar? It's pretty new, and it looks amazing, but I haven't seen any coverage/reviews. Would love to see your take.
Not yet! But I might look into it...
