does anyone have a merick quad? none of the shops carry them around here. i’d really like to know the fin placement and how wide the tail is. thanks.
cisurfboards.com call them or email them . . . I’m supposed to be getting one. It’s a bro hookup, so its slow . . . .
If you go to the following link, and scan down through it, you’ll see a post from a guy with the fin placement specs from his newish Al Merrick Quad, as well as all the info I posted from my old 80s Al Merrick Quad.

The only new one I’ve seen has been sitting on the racks at a local shop for at least a year. Currently priced at $625, clear sanded finish. Ouch.
thanks maraboutslim. i hear ya man. all the merricks down here are $650 and up.
Last time I bought an off the rack Al Merrick was in the mid 90s and I got a 6’6" MBB3 for $385 and a twinfinner (with color) for $415. (I saved the peel-off size/glassing/price stickers off all my boards back then).
Not really complaining about modern prices but it is surprising. Somehow skateboards still cost the same - even though they are still made here in the usa (at least the decks, trucks, and wheels I buy are).
