Quiet Flight Marlin Surfboard | In Stock

Who - The Quiet Flight Marlin is a fish-inspired everyday shortboard for surfers who want easy paddling and early entry without giving up a responsive feel on the wave.

When - Designed for smaller, everyday surf, where its increased concave creates lift and drive and its low entry rocker gets you into waves early.

What - A mid-size nose and low entry rocker help it paddle fast and catch waves early. Increased concave adds lift and drive in smaller surf, and the swallow tail with a bonzer-type bottom helps it release through every turn.

Marlin Q&A

What size Marlin should I get?

Ride the Marlin at your regular shortboard volume or a touch more. Its mid-size nose keeps the outline closer to a shortboard than a retro fish, so comparing stock dims it runs only about 2" shorter than a standard performance shortboard of the same volume. For example, if you ride a 5’11 shortboard at about 28.5 L, look at the 5’9 (19 1/16" x 2 5/16", 27.90 L) or the 5’10 (19 1/8" x 2 3/8", 29.70 L). Stock sizes run from 5’4 (18 3/8" x 2 1/16", 22.23 L) to 6’6 (20 ½" x 2 ¾", 40.10 L). Our shop staff can help you pick a size.

What fins does the Marlin use?

Every Marlin we have stocked comes with FCS II boxes; each board’s listing and photos show its box count. Because the bonzer-type bottom and increased concave already generate lift and drive, a balanced, all-round template suits it best: the FCS II Performer (Small, Medium, Large), or on Futures the F4 / F6 / F8 Legacy. FCS sizes its fins by weight: Small 120–155 lbs, Medium 145–175 lbs, Large 165–200 lbs. Futures’ Legacy series runs F4 (Small), F6 (Medium) and F8 (Large).

What is the Marlin?

Quiet Flight calls the Marlin the fastest fish in the water. A mid-size nose and low entry rocker help you paddle fast and get into waves early, increased concave helps create lift and drive in smaller surf, and the swallow tail with a bonzer-type bottom helps it release on every turn.

What waves is the Marlin for?

Smaller, everyday surf. The increased concave creates lift and drive when the waves lack power, and the low entry rocker gets you into them early.

Who is the Marlin for?

Surfers who want a fish-inspired everyday shortboard: easy paddling and early entry without giving up a responsive feel on the wave.

What construction does the Marlin come in?

We stock the Marlin in PU (poly), and it has also come through in Quiet Flight’s Q-Flex construction and EPS/epoxy. Each in-stock board on this page lists its construction and fin boxes.
