TRUE AMES ELLIS ERICSON FEATHERS QUAD (FUTURES) - SMOKE

Designed by Ellis Ericson and inspired by the revolutionary ideas behind the George Greenough Power Glide 45, The Feathers Quad blends classic hydrodynamic theory with modern performance intent. A full leading edge flows into a distinctive concaved inside foil, generating immediate acceleration while maintaining control through turns. Its neutral elliptical outline keeps the feel balanced and versatile, allowing the set to adapt across a wide range of boards and conditions. Fast, controlled, and highly responsive, the Feathers Quad is built to unlock speed and versatility without sacrificing precision.

Ellis Ericson&Feather Quad History/Origin

A Byron Bay-born surfer and shaper who grew up steeped in the rich lineage of 1970s Australian surfboard craft. Influenced early on by the curves and flow of classic designs — and shaped further by long stints riding and shaping in Indonesia — Ellis combines timeless surfboard aesthetics with a modern performance mindset rooted in speed, feel, and connection to the wave. As his exploration evolved beyond single fins and mid-lengths, the move into quad setups like the Feathers Quad represents a natural extension of his ethos: fuse old-school soul with progressive execution to unlock lively acceleration, drive through turns, and a playful yet precise ride. Central to Ellis' evolution is the lasting influence of George Greenough — whose revolutionary approach to flex, foil, and hydrodynamic efficiency reshaped modern fin design.
