Hybrid v. Fish - is there a need for both?

I have a 7’2" hybrid swallow tail (7’2" x 15 x 21 3/4 x 15 1/2 x 2 7/8). Is there any reason to make a 6 and a half foot modern fish? What will the fish offer that the hybrid doesn’t. thanks. Just looking for a reason to make a new board[smile]

Shorter turning radius, snappier feel. Typically they are done flatter, so they feel skatey. It just depends on how traditional or modern you go with it. They are two totally different rides.
