G7 Quantex

Product Description

The Simmer Style G7 Quantex is a high-performance wave board designed to excel in wind swell spots. Its DNA combines the heritage of the Quantum, the brand's historic wind swell wave board, and the Cortex, a platform developed for performance riding in less-than-perfect conditions.

The result is a fast, responsive, and highly adjustable board, capable of combining high-speed stability, ease in tight turns, and excellent control when the sea becomes choppy and the wind picks up. It is an extremely effective solution for riders looking for a modern, versatile wave board ready to perform in a wide range of conditions.

Main Features

High-performance wave board for wind swell spots

The Quantex is designed to perform best in wind waves, where acceleration, speed retention, and control are needed in often irregular conditions. It offers effective handling both when speed needs to be maintained in flatter sections and when thrust needs to be contained in larger, choppier waves.

Fast rocker and wide range of use

The rocker is derived from the Cortex and features a relatively low central section combined with a constant curve at the rear. This solution creates a stable platform at high speeds but also allows for better speed management in slower onshore conditions.

Compact and stable outline

The board features a relatively less curved central outline within a compact package, thus achieving stability at high speeds and agility at lower speeds. The slightly wider tail, ending in a jet tail, aids early planing and speed retention in bottom turns when waves and wind offer less thrust.

Maximum setup adjustability

The five slot boxes allow the Quantex to be configured as a tri, quad, or twin. This great tuning freedom makes the board highly adaptable to spots, riding style, and rider preferences.

Specific 109 L version

The 109 L size adopts slightly different rocker and outline, with a slightly longer rail line and a single concave to vee rocker optimized for heavier riders and larger sails. This version is designed to offer more support without losing the project's character.

Technical Details

Contours with progressive vee and double concave

The hull combines an efficient rocker with progressive vee and a low-resistance central section to promote quick planing and good speed even in less powerful surf. The double concave accelerates towards the tail, helps absorb chop, and creates drive towards the fins for faster, more responsive turns.

Parallel outline

The parallel outline converges in the tail area under the feet, offering lift for early planing and plenty of pop for aerials and jumps. With the stance adjusted further back, the angled inner section of the tail increases grip in top turns and torque in tighter bottom turns.

Double screw strap inserts

The double inserts allow maximum hold and stance adjustment according to personal preferences. Declared width options are 14.5 cm or 15.5 cm for the front straps and 14 cm or 15 cm for the back strap.

Dual-density EVA pad

The dual-density EVA pads use a 4mm high-density top layer with diamond grip and heat-pressed dots, plus a soft 8mm heel bumper and tail kick. This enhances comfort, grip, and control during demanding navigation.

Self-regulating Gore-Tex air vent

The Quantex integrates a self-regulating Gore-Tex system that allows air to pass between the foam core and the outer part, keeping the board waterproof. The system helps reduce the risk of internal overpressure and delamination, even during air travel.

Carbon Airex fins and premium accessories

The fins have a carbon/fiberglass construction with an Airex foam core to offer reduced weight, rigidity, and strength. High-quality stainless steel strap screws and fin boxes, and adjustment with a T20 Torx tool complete a package designed for reliability and ease of use.

Pro Edition Foot Straps

The Pro Edition footstraps feature 7mm neoprene padding and wide adjustability via Velcro for increased comfort and durability. They are compatible with both single and double inserts.
