5-8 Album Fascination Quad XTR10 Regular

 This is an asymmetrical model designed by Matt Parker that reimagines the classic fish template to remove typical performance limitations. It features a unique fin setup and outline tailored specifically to whether a surfer is regular or goofy-footed, providing twin-fin speed on the toe side and quad-fin control on the heel side.

Design & Performance Features

• Asymmetrical Outline: The board uses a shorter heel-side rail to allow for tighter, more aggressive turns and better control on the backside, while maintaining the glide of a traditional fish.
• Fin Configuration: It typically utilizes an asymmetrical fin setup: a large Twin-fin on the toe side for down-the-line speed and a Quad-fin setup on the heel side for increased hold and maneuverability.
• Rocker & Deck: According to Album Surf, the board has a flatter rocker under the chest for easy paddling, with slightly more entry and exit rocker than a standard fish to handle steeper waves.
• Recommended Sizing: Shapers suggest riding the Fascination one to two inches longer and slightly narrower than your traditional fish, while keeping your standard thickness.
