The MK2 is Troy Brooks step down from his Round Tail Quad. Murry Bourton basically squashed his 6.0 down to 5.8 added extra width and shifted the widest point forward widening the nose and narrowing the tail proportionally. The con vee stayed the same but he bulked up the rail a bit more due to the board’s shortness. The break from Bourton's norm with this design is the fin placement. Murray was influenced a little by Kelly’s quad fin sets which were less toed in than normal quads and figured his reasoning was that because his boards were extremely short he could afford to place them a little more parallel to give the board more run, coz at 5.2, it was bloody loose enough. The market for this model is typically the way above average surfer who wants a fish that will allow him to do what he does in power; in no power. A great performer in small waves.
