About the Fish

A 30 year old concept that has been transformed into modern designs to the point where only the name remains the same. we now favor the thruster fin set up as opposed to the old twin fin set-up. Whilst the twin fin set-up is still legitimately being used, we have found that the directional stability that the thruster set-up provides is much better for todays radical surfing.

What you are essentially left with is a very short and round shortboard. You simply will not find a looser, more easy to turn board. The easy rail to rail means that the surfer can generate unbelievable speed even in the most tired of waves.

As with all wide boards, control at high speeds is always forfeited to some extent. Our fish designs have single or double wingers to bring the tail blocks in more tightly. This gives a much better 'pivot' point when turning sharply. The extra edges that come with the wingers also combine rather nicely with concaves and 'off the rail' channels. Edges simply give you more grip which means you can bottom turn harder and bash the lip harder. It is probably also worth mentioning that small boards have an amazing recovery rate. That is to say that when you are pulling off a manoeuvre, if you can possibly stay upright (and sometimes even when you can't) the fish is very likely to stay attached to your feet!

Most Suitable for.... You really need to be a shortboard rider and not weigh a great deal more than 11 stone ( if you do weigh more, then check out our retro rocket design). The fish will perform in a relatively large range of conditions but if you're looking for small surf performance this board will rule the waves.
