    Hey I'm looking for a stretch quad. I'm in Rhode Island if anyone has one they want to let go. Also looking for Xanadu wave rocket 5'6. Let me know if you have one you want to let go. Thanks

    Not to discourage you, but finding a specific board in a specific size, used, is going to be hard. At least on here. Some one may have something similar though. So don't give up complete hope.

    I suggest going to a local shaper who can make a copy.

    I agree with Bass. Get a locally shaped replica or scour C/L up and down the ec.

    I can't imagine too many people on the Right Coast with Stretch and Xanadu boards? Left Coast is stacked with both models. Heck, if you're gonna pay for shipping, just check some SoCal surf shops on line, or even Craigslist. I see those things all the time.

    Ok cool I'll keep my eye out over there, I have a buddy in Orange County looking for me too.

    Just buy a new one. By the time you end up paying for a used one, including shipment, it will be almost has much. And not new, with some prior damage. Believe me, you won't be saving much.

    Can't find a new ones, Xanadu doesn't make that shape anymore and stretch I believe isn't either.

    Okay, I was unaware of that. Then I wish you best of luck in finding what you want.
    I will keep an eye open should I see one up here in NH and let you know if I do see one for sale. But, they are not often seen here (the brands you mention).
    Have a good day, man.....
    A second thought, call them, they may have the model templates in their computers which would allow them to make one. I did that with Gordon and Smith once on an older model, they retrieved it and made me the board.

    I would get a 2x4 stretch before a f4, it works from waist to double overhead. It's catches waves so good and really can haul ass when you need too. I know Luke at Long Beach Surf Shop has some in stock or you can get a custom shaped by Stretch. Either way the board will last a long time and retain it's value for years.

    2x4 stretch? I'll look into that thanks! What size are you riding? And how much do you weigh if you don't mind me asking?

    I ride a 6'2 20 2.4 with skate deck 2x4. You can check the stretch website(stretchboards.com) to get some more info.

    I'm 6' 210 boards volume is 36L, FYI skate deck adds 1/4" of thickness.
