Tyler Warren 6'7 Channel Bottom Diamond Tail Quad

6’7” channel bottom diamond tail by Tyler Warren. Quad fin setup.

Same design family as the 6’6” tri—a step-up inspired by flat-deck shortboards before they got chippy, with modern rails and bottoms for ease of ride. Tyler describes this as a little bit of Air and Zipper but with channels. The Air is his flat-deck progressive shortboard; the Zipper is a diamond tail thruster designed with Midget Smith in 2006.

Quad vs. Tri

The quad setup gives drive and speed without a center fin to create drag. Where the thruster version pivots and holds, the quad version projects forward—it wants to go fast in a straight line and release cleanly off the tail. The deep channels add directional speed and hold, so you get the drive of a quad without the slidey feeling in the tail.

The Shaper

Hand-shaped by Tyler Warren in Dana Point, California. Warren shaped his first board at 14, mentored by Hobie legend Terry Martin, and has since worked alongside Chris Christenson, Josh Hall, Robin Kegel, and Malcolm Campbell. He made the cover of Surfer Magazine riding a self-shaped single fin at Desert Point. Every Tyler Warren board is shaped by Tyler himself—one guy, one shaping bay, behind his house in Dana Point.
