GO WITH THE MANDALA !!!
I have a Quad from Manny, I also have a Rich Pavel Rainbow (although not a Speed dialer)
Both are very good boards, the Mandala is magic though and has a much sturdier glass job.
I’ve never met or talked with Rich, but working long distance (I’m on the East Coast) over the phone with Manny was a pleasure, he is a great guy and a real professional. In my experience the 2 best guys to work with were 1) Steve Brom and 2) Manny Caro, they were both a pleasure to work with, made me SUPER boards, and packaged them SOO GOOD for shipping.(arrived perfect -not a scratch!!)
Great guys & Great sticks!

Thanks, I basically have decided to go with the Mandala. Just wondering if if I want the standard quad (turbo fins) or the cutaway version. Both are on his website. I also have a 5’6" Steve Brom. I liked it the first two days I took it out because the conditions were real glassy. Since then I haven’t wanted to use it in the average day beachbreak. Anybody want to trade for Mandala Quad?
