Fish?

Enygma · 2006-09-14 11:25:31

Anyone else riding a fish here? Not the fat-boy swallow-tail thrusters (they're nice too though) but a proper traditional fish like this: I got one out in San Diego earlier this year and I've got to say it's a magic board. The speed is just phenomenal, people say they're good for fat waves, and they're definetely better…

I got one out in San Diego earlier this year and I've got to say it's a magic board. The speed is just phenomenal, people say they're good for fat waves, and they're definetely better than a thruster in fat waves. But any bit of a wall at all and it'll just take off.

The only bad thing about them is that surfing on your back side is really hard unless it's a good wave and you just pig-dog it. My next board is going to be a 5'8 quad fin fish with a slightly narrower tail (9 inches). Anyone have any experience with them?
