“The Wombi Fish”
After having very successful results with our dedicated quad model, The Cali Quad, in both Europe and the rest of the world I felt the strong need to provide a similar, user friendly quad design in the PUKAS range and hence the Wombi Fish was born.
The design of the Wombi fish looks relatively simple at first look but has some small, important details that give the board extra edge and performance. It features a wide, clean outline with a full nose and medium swallow tail with a slight direction change or ‘hip’ that extends from the leading fins off the tail. A subtle attribute inspired from a Skip Frye quad shaped for Tom Carroll that he proudly came and showed me back home in Sydney. The bottom contours of the Wombi Fish begins with a simple rolled entry at the tip of the nose which then blends into our signature subtle quad concave just forward from the chest. From there, a double within a single concave takes effect and strengthens through the mid-section of the board (between the feet) finally finishing with spiral vee through the fins and off the tail.
Another addition to the bottom of this model is the flattening of the outer edge of the rail, in effect it’s a subtle bevel rail and this allows the initiation of the turn with The Wombi Fish. In other words it frees up the board. The combination of these bottom contours matched with a relatively flat rocker (especially in the tail) creates a fast, responsive small wave board suited for clean, low energy waves.
