Looking for a fish

General Discussion
1

I’m looking for a 6’6" / 6’8" single wing fish, quad fin. I’ve looked into Mandala and Rainbow but both have crazy long wait lines, SO any other suggestions out there??

I’m looking into Linden and Fletcher but haven’t found much input on either.

Thanks!

Plenty of guys who can build you a great boards a lot quicker than that

Talk to Greg Griffin, I don’t recall seeeing and single wing stuff from him but I bet he can make you a killer Fish or anything else you want. I have one of his 5 Fin Rockets, one of the best boards I have - his boards also come with hand foiled fins matched specifically to the board- email him and talk it out

DJ Kane, a young shaper who used to post here- been working @ Moonlight Glassing- has a growing reputation and has had some help from Rich Pavel http://www.dksurfboards.com/

Gary Hanel is a good shaper also has his shapes glassed @ Moonlight, I have a GH Bonzer that is really sweet

Tons of other good Fish shapers out there (Steve Seebold in SD and John Mel in Santa Cruz come to mind)

Of course you could always shape your own :slight_smile:

Good Luck

I had an art board and the deck started to come apart in a few months and I take proper care of my boards so I was a little turned off.

Thanks for the recommendations of the other shapers I will call them and talk surf. Anyone else I should consider?

Thanks

We have competitive pricing. We can make whatever you want. We glass for many or most of the Northern CA shapers. We even had a center spot in the April Surfer’s Journal featuring Thomas Meyerhoffer’s art boards.

p.s. A friend in N.C. just got his 2nd or 3rd board from Larry and couldn’t say enough about how helpful and great to deal with everyone involved in the operation is. Plus, the board exceeded all expectations - arrived on schedule - and super well packed for shipping…
