Fish Surfboards For Small Waves

Dimensions are 2 7/8" thick, 22 1/2" wide, 17" nose and tail.

Fish surfboards are usually quite short compared to other types of surfboard generally they are under 6 foot in length and were originally developed from kneeboards in the 1960's. This board will normally have a twin fin combined with a swallow tail which makes this board very maneuverable in small waves. This board faded in popularity until the 2000's when a resurgance of fish board sales came in the wake of a great surfer call Tom Curren. Other boards can have a fish tail such as the shortboard or the mini-longboard but they are still different from the more traditional Fish Surfboard.

The modern Fish surfboard has come along way since it was first used over 30 years ago but the new designs look totally different than those early designs and resemble the shortboard or mini-longboard every year, however the fish surfboard is the loosest and most easy to turn of all surfboards and giving it the ablilty to achieve high speeds even in the smallest of waves. However because it is generally small and light you too cannot be too big and this type of board will suit a surfer of about 11 stone or lighter, some will take a heavier weight but generally if you are over the 11 stone then the fish surfboard is not for you.
