If your goal is to surf mountains anywhere on Earth, the Performance Quad Series is built to lead the charge. Developed with surfer and snowsurfer Naoto Kotsugai, this signature model brings the soul of surfboard shaping straight to the snow. A spooned-out convex nose delivers seamless contact, effortless lift, and rapid acceleration. Aggressive edge hold powers confident turns all the way down to the solid fishtail, delivering outstanding stability even in unpredictable conditions. A double concave with twin snow channels at the tail enhances board control and reduces suction and drag in wet spring snow—keeping your speed and flow fully dialed. With all elements working in harmony, the PQ Series stands at the top as the highest-performing board in our lineup.
The PQ49 refines the series into a smaller, more agile shape—ideal for lighter riders or those who favor quick control. As the latest model in the lineup, it distills the best of the PQ54 and PQ60 into a balanced, high-performance ride that shines from groomers and banks to the backcountry.
SNOWSURF CAMBER
A refined take on traditional directional camber, Snowsurf Camber positions the camber peak closer to the front foot for immediate, precise response and acceleration, simulating a front-foot surfing experience on the slopes.
