Not endorfins. But a flexing quad set with a diminutive trailer. 

A design from the inspired minds of Greg Webber and Adam Robbo. 

Greg told Stab the specific details.

“It’s the first Electra (January 2000) that I made for Kelly, it was 5’7.5” by 17 3/4” 2 7/16” and 26.1L. The fins were at 13” 7” and 5” and the white fins are the flexing quads that were designed for that kind of board. Nose rocker was 4 ⅞ and tail 2 11/16”. 3/8” concave between the feet fading pretty quickly at each end so that the lift is really high between the feet. It had a slight double concave deck with boxy sloped rails. Glassing was by Rooster (Gregg Weber) single layer 4oz deck and bottom with innegra strips deck and bottom to slightly dampen.”

And did he like it?

“Yes he liked it and ordered another 12 or so after that.”
