Tolhurst Quad Fin Fish - BT Fish and Blackfish
Description
Looking for a quad fin fish surfboard? Well, these two epic models from Tolhurst Surfboards are pack in plenty of paddle power and performance!
Tolhurst BT Fish Model Overview
This is the original Tolhurst quad fin fish that went into production after some changes to a design I made for Michael Saggus. The Quad setup allows more plan shape curve than a twin keel for better wave fitment in the pocket and with Bill’s exclusive quad fin positioning plus the trusted CT-X double concave bottom shape this board has stood the test of time. A truly proven quad fish design.
The quads for this board are XL size in the front and normal style medium size in the rear. Designed for use with the Harley Ingleby FCS II quad set.
Glassing Specifications: Stock PU (4x4x4).
Bottom Contour: CT-X Double Concave.
Tail Shape: Swallow.
Fin Setup: Quad. FCSII or Futures.
Ride: 2 to 4 inches smaller than your height.
Tolhurst Black Fish Model Overview
The Black Fish is influenced by the rocket fish that Clyde Beatty Jr was making in the late 70’s. A narrower version of Bill’s quad fish with more rocker and the CT-XX bottom shape making use of a concave entry with rail relief and a double concave spiral “V” inside a single and back to single concave behind the fins all of which assist with more reaction from loading up turns.
The Black Fish is a cross between a fish and a thruster. Utilising normal thruster size fins in the front with the same tail fins as the BT Fish.
Glassing Specifications: Stock PU (4x4x4).
Bottom Contour: Single to Double Concave to Single through tail exit.
Tail Shape: Swallow.
Fin Setup: Quad. FCSII or Futures.
Ride: 2 to 4 inches smaller than your height.
