The first Bat-Tailed grab rail quad fin responsible for sparking the Quad renaissance that has spread like wild fire. Forget the over hyped imitators: this is the REAL DEAL. Designed in part with Nathan Fletcher in the beach breaks of San Clemente and brought into the Flexlites high performance materials, Cole's version is now available to all. Currently available in four sizes in the Flexlite construction.

The Cole Firefly quad is the culmination of years of experimentation research and testing. The Firefly Quad cam about when Nathan Fletcher and Cole were searching for something more exciting than the standard thruster, which had been stagnating, or at least getting a bit boring throughout the 1990's. "We started experimenting with twin fins and were stoked on the quickness and acceleration, but ran into the same old problems inherent to that design."

"Nathan and I had both ridden quads in the past and loved certain things about the design, so we began working on combining the four fin design with the more
contemporary outlines, rockers and bottom contours of today." The boards were loose yet maximized drive and holding power. When on a rail both fins are basically facing the same direction minimizing drag and eliminating the anchor effect of the third fin.

"Nathan began using quads for both his bigger boards in Hawaii at Pipe and Teahupoo. He was even more stoked on the design. When proved the design in
Hawaii we knew we really had something."

The Cole Firefly has been ridden by surfers including Nathan, Bruce Irons, Matt Archbold, Adam Repolgle, Dino Andino, and a host of other pros.

The high performance quad design is being ridden by surfers from 2' T Street, to 40' Mavericks. Surfers such as Tom Carrol, Dustin Barca, Danny Fuller, and even Kelly Slater have been recently documented ripping on the new wave of high performance quads. The re-introduction of HP Quads was started as least in part by the collaboration of Nathan and Cole on the Firefly.

Four sizes are currently available in the Flexlite technology.
