The Quantums are extremely easy, efficient and all-around wave boards with single fin-like mobility and liveliness. Loose enough to be quickly whipped around in small waves, fast enough to enable big jumps in any conditions and controllable enough to keep delivering when the wind and the waves get serious. The extra width is a shortcut to better wave sailing for the progressing wave sailor, but will also let the expert generate more power and speed from smaller or slower waves. Even in small sizes, the Quantums will carry big sails and still stay loose and efficient which means you will not need an extra board to cover your light wind needs.
The Quantum comes with Simmer Mission front fins and a set of Blacktip rear fins, designed to complement the ultra efficient hull shape and offer loose and vertical turning. For an even looser feel you can try the optional Mission rear fins or use the board as a twin fin. For off the charts mobility and bottom turn drive you can use the Icon rear fin set.
“ The Quantum is the wave board in the Simmer range that really brings alive typical European conditions, wind-swell type conditions. It has great speed and drive due to its flatter rocker but also the ability to do some some incredible snappy turns. Which is why the Quantum is the first board I reach for when things go a bit average out there, as the Quantum brings the the best out of average conditions.“ - Ben Proffitt K-800
Our production methods focus on quality and consistency, rather than trying to make as many boards as possible. This produces a much higher quality product, resulting in a more accurate and consistent shape once the board is removed from the mold. With no need to refinish or cover up any imperfections, we can stay focused on each board’s structural integrity throughout the production process. Therefore, Simmer Style boards are by definition semi-custom. Our process, along with the innovative Carbon X principle, produces a board that feels more custom made than production when it hits the water.
The Carbon X construction applies similar principals as freestyle snowboarding where the rider uses the flex and twist of the board to gain speed to maneuver. The concept is to use the strength and stiffness of the carbon where it’s needed the most. This provides some major performance advancements such as that the Carbon X construction:
1. absorbs the energy caused by impact which increases the durability and longevity of the board.
2. generates more flex in the bottom turn which promotes drive and creates a livelier feel.
