Power 4
Carbon & S-Glass.
Generation 4.
Freewave Thruster
The Power is the most stable board of the Quatro range.
This 4th generation Power has inboard and outboard stance positions for different conditions and skill levels. More compact with a slightly wider tail block, tweaked rocker and volume distribution, more supportive than ever but don’t let this mislead you, it’s a thoroughbred Quatro board and carries over traits from it’s more radical siblings to lay turns and send spray flying when the waves do pick up.
Available in 84, 94, 104, 114 liters.
Carbon & S-Glass Hull technology, Vacuum lamination.
Finboxes: 1x Power Box + 2x Mini Tuttle.
All new MFC ® fins and footstraps.
Inboard and outboard strap position inserts.
All new KT Surfing ® Single to Dual Density Traction Pads, sloped, segmented, tactile grooved, ultra light.
Hyper Skin GW, High Density Full Sandwich.
Carbon Monocoque, connecting masttrack and stance to rails and bottom, forming a cohesive whole.
Available in Metallic Silver and Neon Orange Tech-Reveal GW finish over Carbon, with inverted artwork and charcoal pads.
DISREGARD BELOW HERE FOR NOW:
A word on fins:
The Power 4 is the first of its kind to come without compromise on fin position and footstrap position.
In previous generations, like on any board with a Powerbox and its inherent screw hole, we had to compromise on the fin position in relation to the foot strap position. In this traditional format, the center fin would be set too far back. For this new generation, compromise was no longer an option for us, and we desired all inserts in the exact and optimal position determined during testing. The solution was to change the design of the fin itself. Together with MFC we have succeeded in positioning the fin forward on its base. Resulting in the perfect fin position and footstrap position.
Another step in re-imagining and leaving no stone unturned in the development and design of our boards.
Technology
Using lifetimes of knowledge from our custom factory in Maui we have brought this exact same technology into our stock models creating our strongest and lightest boards to date.
Construction
A completely reimagined construction process enables us to construct a board which feels exactly like our custom boards built in Maui. A unique Carbon blend of Biax, uni directional, plain weave and S Glass deck and hull. Optimized PVC Sandwich layout creates the best strength to weight ratio and the S Glass rail bands provide the best torsional strength without adding weight and stiffness. By blending graphical elements and laminate we have eliminated the need for stickers significantly reducing weight and plastic use during the build process.
Feeling
The Power 4 has a more compact and parallel outline for improved early planing and maneuverability. Overall a narrower outline combined with a V Bottom shape provides the perfect combination of speed and comfort. The surf inspired rocker and wider diamond tail block mean you can send spray on the smallest, weakest of waves.
Shape
Wave Outline, Free Race Rocker, Freeride Comfort.
Outline
More compact and more parallel.
Rocker
A free race inspired rocker for control and comfort with surf inspired tweaks for wave performance.
Rails
Overall less taper to carry more speed through in lesser conditions. A sharper edge further forward creates better water release for early planing and top speed.
Volume
Even volume flow and a flatter deck throughout the board for more stability at lower speeds.
Bottom
Double concave runs within the V blending out towards the tail. Overall V throughout the board to cut through the chop and ease of planing and great turning ability.
Nose
A more sleek and aerodynamic nose for minimum drag, slightly wider than the wave boards.
Tail
Wide shallow Diamond tail offers the best combination of reduced rail length for maneuverability and increase width for early planing.
Drive
The most drivey board within the Quatro range due the wider tail block and more parallel outline.
Agility
Fins and foot straps are further back making the Power 4 super agile. Wave board inspired geometry.
Waves
Small to medium sized waves, bump and jump to flat water.
Fin box + Mast Track
Mini Tuttle sides and power box centre. New 7 inch mast track box. 50% lighter.

Inserts - Type, why, benefits, attachment options.
Vent Plug
Standard vent screw facilitates travel and provides longevity.
Foot straps
New look latest generation MFC foot straps with size measurement guide on both velcro pieces to make sure you always get the exact size you need. Ride it with inboard straps or outboard straps.
Pad
Re-designed dual density pads provide better grip and comfort. A new layout and optimized dual density blend means you have the right support and cushioning where you need it whilst saving weight and minimizing drag. The new square pattern is angled in just the right direction to give you maximum grip and connection to the board.
Tail Pad Kick
Surf inspired and improved to save weight. The tail kick pad gives you that locked in feel during maneuvers and turns.
Details - Accessories, abrasion protectors.
