OVERVIEW

The QTS is the result of progession and further devolopment on the QT Wave.
This amazing 5-box waveboards gives you all the options from Quad, to Thruster and Single fin. 
By carefully modifying the bottom contours of the QT with deeper double concaves we have created the most complete and most radical waveboard we've ever designed.
On the wave the new QTS shines with more hold, more drive and especially more grip in the top turn while keeping most of the excellent planing and accelleration of the QT-Wave.
We recommend this board over the TS-Wave in down-the-line conditions and for long fast bottom turns. The QTS has more grip and more drive than the TS.
The TS-Wave wins in onshore conditions and hollow waves that want to be ridden tight in the pocket. The TS has the ability to go super vertical and feels loose and free.

SHAPE

Optical aspects & Footpads
NEW for 2025: An all new graphic approach. Clean, cool, balanced but still colourful. The 6mm thick diamond groove grip pad has an extra 6mm soft sponge under-layer which makes it 12mm in total. The special layup uses the hard layer to spread the load onto a wider board surface via the soft bottom layer of the pad. This gives us more impact resistance while keeping a direct feeling under your feet.

Shape & Outline
Hand-shaped flowing lines. Smooth and pretty. After thousands of boards the experience and precision of our shaper Patrik Diethelm will easily outperform any CNC software. The result is a perfect shape with a beautiful outline, progressive rails and perfect rocker lines. The wider front section gives you enough lift in the nose area to go planing early and to be able to hit the whitewater late. The narrow tail gives you that agressive feeling when moving the board from rail to rail. Enjoy maximum grip in carved top turns. Choose between carving and throwing spray or sliding and new-school tricks on the wave. This board will never hold you back.

Scoop-Rocker and Bottom Contour
NEW for 2025: Same outline as 2024 but even deeper concaves, more rocker and more vee that give you the best of both worlds. Good accelleration and speed on the straight and more response and a playful radical feeling in the turns. A slight tail kick under your backfoot allows you adapt your turns to the wave any time. Progressive bottom shape with even deeper concaves on the smaller sizes for more control. Connect fast sections with ease, throw some big spray... The new QTS is the most radical waveboard we've ever designed!!

Fins & Fin Boxes
The QTS-Wave comes with 2x PATRIK S-Wave rear and 2x P-Wave front fins. We've found this setup the best compromise between crazy carving abilities and good acceleration and jumping. Center US 8” box allows the use of bigger single fins. 4 side slot boxes to save weight. Big size 102 comes in Thruster configuration to compliment the light wind and wobble-and-ride use.

Inserts
Each insert offers 4-positions and on the front strap has a double plug to be able and change width and angle for different foot size and riding style.
NEW for 2025: 4-screws double inserts on the rear strap for more strength and a no-twist rear strap. This new feature also allows for 2-screws asymmetric backstrap placement in pure down-the-line sailing.

Volume distribution
The balanced thickness under your feet and around the mast track is one of the key points to create a good allround wave board. A light dome deck allows as to keep thinner rails while 'hiding' some volume in the center of the board. This trick also improves the stiffness and break resistance of the construction. The much thinner tail area gives you control, grip and manoeuvrability.

Rails / Tucked
The round rails & tuck starting in the nose area make the board feel smooth troughout the turn. Round rails give you control and also more grip. Under the mast track the tucked show a slightly more visible edge which gets a little sharper between the straps and ends up sharp right behind the back strap for early planning acceleration and top speed.

Deck Shape
The smooth balance ov the whole shape is being carried over into all details. The light domed deck is more round at the front foot for a comfortable stand and good grip in the straps when planing and jumping. More flat under the backfoot for a better connection to the wave.

RANGE OF USE

PRO TIPS

‌ SIMON THULE (Professional Surfer)
"The new QTS-Wave is the most radical PATRIK waveboard we've ever designed. We opted for deeper concaves from the center all the way to the tail. That way we found more grip, more drive and an overall more playful and radical behaviour on the wave. At the same time we preserved 99% of the early planing and good jumping ability of the original QT-Wave. The new Quad fin setup is part of the secret: With P-Wave fronts and S-Wave rears we've found the magic fin combo that makes that board shine in any conditions.
I like to ride my QTS with a wide stance. Front strap all the forward on the waveriding side and second from the front on the jumping side. Rear strap second hole from the rear. That spread out stance helps for a surf-like feeling and control in big airs."
