The G5 Quantum is designed to perform in all types of wind swell type wave sailing. Although it excels in onshore conditions, it is actually the most versatile wave board in the range, featuring a huge performance register and super easy sailing in any type of wave. Thanks to the five carbon slot boxes you can tune the board for a huge spectrum of conditions, from light wind to high wind and from onshore to side shore. Quantum is able to adapt and thrive in any environment.
Keeping with the popular traits in previous versions of Quantum, it is super loose and effective in smaller surf, but now it also handles bigger waves, with faster down-the-line riding capacity and snappy rail-to-rail turns. It also handles choppier conditions more effectively due to the single-to-double concave which absorbs chops and drives the water towards the fins with a slight V in the tail. This hull shape configuration creates stability and control even in the most demanding conditions. The wider and curvy outline allows Quantum to stay lively even when loaded with a larger sail. This very effective volume distribution also allows the rider to choose a slightly bigger board yet still have drive-in turns and a tight turning radius.
The tri fin Quantum rivals in most freewave boards for early planing, upwind performance and ease of sailing while still providing awesome turning performance. The tri fin setup provides plenty of power for bigger sails and excellent control for jumping. On the wave this setup gives the best possible projection and drive in turns, assisting the sailor in keeping speed through the bottom turn, even in slower waves.
