FUTURES Quad

I thought that I can't surf on the Black Sea waves (mostly wind swells) as an old beginner (over 40 years old) but Skooldog 7'6" proved me that I was wrong. This board is now my first choice for riding waves of 0.4m or bigger, with periods as small as 4 seconds, perfect for the Black Sea. It helped me evolve from frustration due to crappy pop-ups and crappy balance to a state of confidence and satisfaction. The board is quite forgiving if you place your feet in the wrong position, and I had a lot of fun riding waves, with less and less wipeouts. Of course, it's slower to turn, and I can't wait to evolve to a shorter board.
Thank you SoftDog Surf!

Using this board with a twinfin fin-setup is surprisingly fun!!! So much glide, but still so much control! A Midlenght with so much characteristics in 1 shape. Truly special.

A must have in your quiver !

I've been taking my Retriever out in small, messy conditions and it's perfect.

I'd suggest this board for 'advanced beginners'/intermediates as their 3rd board *after* an 8ft foamie (learn to surf), and then a 9ft+ hard longboard (learn to turn).

2+1 fin setup is great for experimentation. I've even gone a bit unconventional and bought twin fins and a small trailer (that fits in the single-fin box) from AliExpress and they've made it super fun and skatey, but still with enough control coming from the trailer.

I am surfing now for a little more than two years (but with long breaks in between, so I still consider myself a beginner) and I like the size and shape of the board. I really feel comfortable with this board and compared to other boards I surfed, I would consider this the most stable and fun. Double plus for the hand grip that makes it easier to carry! I would recommend this board to anyone but especially to starters or people that surfed already a bit like me but are still not comfortable (yet) with smaller sizes :)

This board is amazing, it's a great first board to surf down the line but also amazing for the better surfer to make turns and little cross steps. Must have in your quiver!!

This board should be in everyone’s quiver! Had so much fun with this board and so has the rest of my family. All-round fun board I would highly recommend. Always having a good session with this board and it’s the perfect transition board for kids (and adults) who get the hang of it!

Het board is de perfecte mid-lenght, niet te breed en zeker stabiel. Afgelopen week de leukste golven met dit board gepakt in Portugal. Kleinere of grote golven op alles kunnen inpeddelen. Echt een allemansvriend die niet mag ontbreken.

Love this wide Alpha for the smaller days, it rips like a skateboard. Also fun to mess around with different fin setups. Thruster, quad, twin+1 , everything goes really well!

One of the best high performance softboards I’ve ridden. The quad setup makes it a fun board for smaller days whilst with the thruster you can really surf top to bottom

This is my all time favorite softtop! Super easy to catch waves but you can shred it like a shortboard. It’s the perfect combination between performance surfing and softtop fun 🙌

Perfect board to learn how to surf for everyone of your family! Even for an intermediate level this is your perfect go to! If you can turn this board, you’ll be able to turn every board you’ll ever surf! Would highly recommend to everyone. Easy to travel with and big plus for me personally is that it comes with an amazing design that allows you to carry it down to the beach more easy then most boards! I’m a fan!

Awesome board - super super easy to surf and really fun, also for me as an intermediate/advanced surfer. Paddles really well as well. Highly recommend!

Ik heb dit board gekocht voor mijn zoon van 8jaar.
Wauw!!! Hoe goed gaat dit voor hem.
Super blij mee.
Hij kan nu zelf inpeddelen en begint zijn eerste goeie turns te maken.

De 7.2 is echt een leuk board. Golven meepakken is easy en draait verrassend goed. In t algemeen ook super praktisch en je moet er niet alte voorzichtig mee zijn als je 't in je auto steekt :-) Is echt top voor allround gofjes te pakken. Werkte zowel in Frankrijk als hier aan onze kust. Enjoy!
