After & Before: Pavel gets Pendo’d
Surfy Surfy team rider, The Justin got his magic 5’6″ Pavel converted into a Pendo Flex. Discuss on the Surfer mag Design Forum.
By Turbo Speedialer Quad Fins
I bought myself a new set of those fancy curved Lokbox Turbo quads because my bro-in-law Trusty Dusty borrowed my original set 2 years ago and never returned them (because they are magic).
The board pictured is my 5’7″ Choice vanishing stringer “Flexdialer” that I commissioned Rich Pavel to shape out of my last Clark Foam blank (that I bought from Ian Zamora in the parking lot of the 2006 Fish Fry).

The blue Speed Dialer pictured was originally mine. Rich Pavel shaped it for me years ago during the beginnings of the new millennium Fish Movement.
I passed it along to my longtime surf bro Jeff Nelson who had never before ridden a Fish or a quad.
Jeff surfed the Pavel up and down the coast via his 35′ Trimaran, scoring all kinds of surf and putting the board and Turbo fins into all kinds of situations.
Jeff became a true believer in the design and wanting a backup board recently enlisted young Speed Dialer aficionado D.J Kane to shape him a replica.
Look for Jeff and his new board at some weird out of the way spot surrounded by sea life and grinning a big goofy grin.
