Twin Keels, preferably marine ply.
Straight railed.
Wide nosed.
Big swallow.
Low rocker.
Touch of roll.
Touch of concave.
Designed for real waves not real slop.
Anything more/anything less than two keels and it is not a Fish.
Anyone advertising a Fish when it's NOT is false to the roots and soul of surfing.

The Fish is essentially a kneeboard. It thrives on low centre of gravity.
The more squat the surfer in a critical turn at speed, the greater the response.
The more rail in the water, the better the projection.
The more The Fish is built to the surfer's power to weight ratio, the better to ride any size.
Ride it the right way on the right wave and the surfing experience explodes.
The 'HyndFish' is designed for real surf...JBay, Burleigh, solid Bells: down the line set ups where entry speed, delay and release, high line driving and fade can be absolutely defined.


The standard 70kg surfer can ride a 5'5" Fish at 6 foot point surf no sweat as long as the basics of low centre of gravity surfing are respected.
With the right gab rail bottom turn, body leaning forward, the surfer can do just about anything in setting up the perfect ride on the perfect wave.

The Fish is not to be surfed off the back foot.
Surf it from the front and let the keels do the rest.
And remember its origins...kneeboarding...low to the rail.
The Fish has its variations but anything too much and it morphs into twinny or thruster.
The micro wing comes into play as the surfer opts for more everyday conditions.
It allows a more sudden break in flow, particularly in the hook.

Would be nice with some illustrations to go with it. Otherwise interesting info, Willy!!

IMO good for long walls, shit for tight pockets or getting off moves quickly

Håller med oftast bättre med andra typer av brädor i svenska vågor, om ni nu inte råkar ha nån J-bay point som hemmabryt. Kan ju iofs funka hyffsat, bra dagar på en del ställen.

Man kan väl tillägga att det heller inte bör vara alltför stökiga vågor om man ska ut och fiska i större surf. De gånger man ser folk surfa "riktig" fish är vattnet oftast väldigt lent och fint. Eller hur?

Det är f.ö svårt sätta etiketter på brädor som FISH tex då det finns brädor som är mittemellan. Är tex en äkta fishdesign en fish om man splittar upp kölarna i 4 fenor istället osv.

Jag tycker Willy är ute o fiskar i grumliga vatten här.

Finns många typer av fishar.
Här är några typer som trivs extra bra i svenska vatten:

INNAN haven fiskades ut och dog, ja...

It´s not retro if you didn´t surf them the first time around.
