2012 was proof that KR quads are here to stay.WCT champion, Joel Parkinson rode predominately 5 fin set ups thought the victory year putting a

multitude of quad variations to the test.

After a 2nd place finish in Tahiti in 2012 using the JP quad, Joel soon realised that further exploration of the quad configuration had value. Together with KR Joel began developing ideas to take it to the next

level.

Pro surfers now find themselves adjusting between thruster and quad set up based on conditions and the transition can be vital. It soon became clear that if KR could create a trailer template to compli-ment the teams favourite signature front fins, the transition between thruster and quad would

become seamless during events.

By the end of 2012 Joel had found the magic set and we began sampling for the other team eager to use quad trailers back with their signature fins. Now in 2013 the Quad trailers are in frequent use by all our riders, most notably Joel winning the Bali pro with the M-L and Ace Buchan’s win at Tahiti on

the S-M template.

After 18 months in development, KR are proud to announce the launch of the new KR Quad TRAILERS.

DUSTY-PIts carbon placement is critical to the balance of the fins characteristics. The added height of the 3K carbon extends the strong “backbone” of the fin to

ensure stability and controlled flex.Suitable for all medium weight surfers, the DUSTY PAYNE template will be a favourite for average to good conditions.. Recommended for surfers be-

Dusty’s blend of innovation and Hawaiian style power surfing led KR on the hunt for a new all-round performance template.The DUSTY P signature fin has medium size dimensions with a little more rake than most giving added drive. This rake combined with a reduction in

base width allows the fin to pivot and release while maintaining its speed.

Occy’s fin template is designed purely for speed and power. One of the most brutal and hard hitting surfers of all time; Occ likes strong, continu-ous speed gained from the rake in this fin.

“Andy thought that the other boys always had something better than him, which lead him to testing everyones equipment in all sorts of waves. His two favourites were Parkos and Occys and from this we refined a combination into what is now the AI forever template - A

slightly raked back fin like Occy’s but with the release of Parko’s refined tip. - Claimed them as the best fins he ever rode.

I spent a lot of my life surfing, shaping and traveling with Andy and he was one of the most all-time people I have had the privilege of knowing.He will always be a part of my life and am honored to help and contribute to his legacy being remembered - forever.”

“Missed but never forgotten.” JS.

AI-2.1 is the larger of the two templates. It is recommended for surfers between 65-85 kg or 145-185 lbs as the everyday fin for most conditions.

The AI-2.0 and 2.1 are not only both enhanced with CARBOTUNE construction but the addition of an even stiffer and stronger carbon base. This large weave, 12K carbon works especially well with this new template to provide the perfect balance of flex, drive

and release. Both sizes are developed to replicate the same characteristics in their weight category.
