Simmer G7 Quantex Windsurfing Board

£2,399.00

// PERFORMACE ALL WAVE DESIGN

The Quantex is a high performance wave board that specifically excels in wind swell wave venues.  As the name indicates, the Quantex genealogy includes both the Quantum – the original Simmer Style wind swell wave board, and the Cortex – the innovative short rail line Simmer wave board, specifically designed for performance riding in less than ideal conditions.  The rocker of the Quantex comes from the original Cortex. Just as the rocker of the Simmer Flywave, it was developed  from Kai Katchadourian’s special Peahi board. This means  a relatively low rocker in the center of the board combined with a constant curve rocker in the rear part.  The main features of this rocker is a high wave riding-speed range. The rocker provides a stable platform in high speed conditions with bigger and choppier waves as well as providing the rider with speed containment in slower onshore conditions.

The central challenge for wind swell performance wave boards is to, provide  tight turning board in smaller waves and control bigger waves, which in wind swell locations means chop and high wind. In the Quantex, the  mechanism for solving this problem lies in the outline. By fitting a relatively low curvature  central outline into a relatively short package, we have achieved to  combine stability at high speeds speed with agility at lower speeds. A slighly wider tail that is finished in a jet tail, that is a swallow with the corners chamfered off, provides an excellent platform for early planing and for carrying speed through the bottom turn when winds and waves proves less drive.

The Quantex 109 features a slightly different rocker and outline that combines a slightly longer rail length with single concave to vee-based rocker optimized for  carrying  heavier sailors and bigger sails.

Compact Outline Tail Design

The chamfered tail design allows the board to draw snappier turns when you engage it in rail-to-rail maneuvers. The Quantex features a longer and wider tail needed to navigate flatter sections of the wave with maintained speed and maneuverability.

Contours

An efficient rocker with a progressive Vee with a low-drag midsection for quick planing, as well as speed in less powerful surf. The double concave accelerate towards the tail causing the water flow to follow, absorbing chops and creating drive towards the fins for snappy turns in all conditions.

Parallel outline

The parallel outline converges into the tail area underfoot providing ample lift for early planing and lots of pop for aerials and jumps. The Quantex can easily adapt to different turning angles. With the stance set as far back as possible, the inner angled rear section adds grip in top turns, and extra torque in tight bottom turns.

Double Screw Inserts

Double footstrap inserts for maximum load and adjustable stance settings for tighter or personal preferences to either 14.5 cm or 15.5 cm for the front straps or 14 cm or 15 cm width for the back foot strap.

 

Dual-Density EVA Foot Pads

Dual-density EVA pads, 4 MM high density top layer with diamond grip + heat pressed dots for superhero traction. The new pads feature a 8 MM soft core heal bumper for maximum riding comfort + tail kick.

SELF REGULATING GORETEX © AIRVENT

The Quantex comes standard with a self-regulating Goretex © Air vent which allows air to pass back and forth between the foam core and the exterior of the board, whilst being completely waterproof. The double-layer membrane of Goretex on either side of a rubber O-ring prevents pressure build-up inside the board, minimizing the risk of delamination caused by overpressure inside the board even during a flight. You’ll never need to unscrew an air vent screw again.

Standard fin setup // TRI

The tri fin setup will provide early planing, great upwind tracking and ease of sailing while still providing an insanely tight turning radius. On the wave, this setup will give you the best possible projection and drive in turns, assisting the sailor in maintaining speed through the bottom turn, even in less powerful waves. Versatility and snappiness with a user-friendly feeling are the main characteristics of this setup.

Alternative fin setup // QUAD

Equipped with a quad fin setup, the Quantex gets more planted and controlled at higher wave riding speeds. The power of the fin cluster acts further forward, which drives the front rail into the water and gives the board added control in turns. At the same time, the shorter depth of the two rear fins makes it easier to dig in the rail at high speeds which means that the board feels more responsive in fast side-shore or cross offshore conditions

New! Carbon Airex Fins

The construction features a carbon/fiberglass exterior, molded with a laminated infusion process onto a Airex foam core structure. This makes the fin extremely lightweight while maintaining strength and stiffness. The Simmer Style composite fins are one of the lightest wave fins on the market; they weigh half the weight compared to traditional G10 fins.

New! Pro Edition Foot Straps

All-new foot strap for the ultimate combination of riding comfort and durability. Features a 7 mm neoprene padding and a large velcro patch for easy adjustment. Screw holes for both single and double screw inserts.

Superior Fittings

Screws for the footstraps and finboxes are made of the highest-grade stainless steel. Both footstraps and Slotbox fins are adjustable with the same tool, the T20 Torx tool included with your board. Super easy, super reliable!
