The Futures Rasta Quad is a medium neutral quad set designed with Dave Rastovich. Futures pairs honeycomb construction with its V2 foil on the front fins, a combination the brand positions as looser and quicker to change direction than a stiffer quad.

Quick specs

Setup: Quad
Template: Neutral
Construction: Honeycomb
Ride number: Balanced, 7.7
Size: Medium quad, 145 to 175 lbs
Front fin: Area 14.72, height 4.44, base 4.31, angle 6.5

Futures describes the Rasta Quad as a versatile set that suits almost any quad-capable board. The listed ride number is 7.7, which places it in the balanced band rather than the pure speed generating or speed control ends of the Futures scale.

Published dimensions separate the fronts from the rears clearly: 14.72 area on the front with 6.5 degrees of cant, against 11.03 area and 3.0 degrees at the back. That gap is what gives a quad its drive without locking the tail.

Pros & cons

Verified 5.0 average from 5 customer reviews on the Futures listing
Honeycomb build keeps the set light without a carbon price jump
V2 front foil is aimed at looser, faster direction changes
Futures rates it for all wave types and all conditions

Sold only as a medium, so lighter and heavier riders are outside the stated band
Futures boxes only
Small published review sample, so the rating carries limited weight

How it surfs

Because it comes in one medium size covering 145 to 175 lbs, this is a set for mid-weight surfers. Riders outside that band should look at other Futures quads rather than sizing up or down by feel.

It fits naturally with fish, twin-plus-quad and five fin shortboards. If you already run a five fin board such as the DHD Switchblade, the Rasta Quad is a straightforward way to soften the feel in weaker surf.

Volume & sizing chart

Use the chart below as a starting point. Add half a litre if you are less experienced, subtract half a litre for a looser feel.

Verdict

A well-documented neutral quad in the mid price bracket, with a small but perfect published customer rating. The single medium size is the main limitation.
