I was/am tempted. The last thing I need is another stubby not-quite-grovel-board though...Someone grab this. I already inquired it’s glassed at Varial with infused epoxy and 35 liters. $750.
5'7" Plasquid (Used)
(Swallow tail/quad) An extremely diverse concept. Ride it short, with plenty of volume and an upright twin fin to make this board come alive in weak to average surf. Stretch it out and make it narrower (as seen in the electric acid test) for a good wave board, or leave it wide for a midlength...albumsurf.com

If that thing was 5-9 i would have swooped for sure. I think 5-8 is my lower limit now after my experience with my 5-7 Hydra. I liked that board a lot but the short length just had too much downside for my tall self.same.
That quad placement is just how I prefer them (clustered out on the rail), and I would think they would work well with the "bronzer" lite channel.
That said, I don't think the swallow tail would be as good as the stock tail on the low end conditions. And I really don't want to paddle a 5'7 around in decent waves nowadays. If it was 5'9-5'10, I would've talked myself into it.
Bro, even my beloved 5’6 GMM2 feels tiny now. I might have to order a 5’8 GMM2 from XTR!If that thing was 5-9 i would have swooped for sure.

These designs seem to work well for shorter surfers and sometimes size up weird if you're over 6'0If that thing was 5-9 i would have swooped for sure.

I wonder how the longer Moonstone round pin compares to a Townsend. They sure look nice but its hard to tell what kind of rocker n foil they have just based on pics. @Duffy LaCoronilla or anyone else have thoughts?
Wow. Yeah, looks like a nice amount of continuous curve. So tempted.
Have you seen ledbetter on a southeast wind swell?Good lord are people paddling those boards in your lineups??
Is that the Swamis of SB?Have you seen ledbetter on a southeast wind swell?
Not even close.Is that the Swamis of SB?
After a couple weeks of that, you don’t get antsy?If the surf is so bad that I have to ride a whaleshart or a wavestorm, then I'd rather just do pushups and squats for half an hour and call it a day.
