I usually surf head high and under beachbreak. I usually surf fish with four fins, quads and twinzers, about 6ft long and wide. I am thinking about breaking out my bubble a little bit and getting something specifically for 1-3ft surf. I don't want to surf the usual longboard/funboard because I wan't to try something different. I'm thinking in the direction of something like these boards:
this is a design I am doing a few of lately, its called 'The Kritta' , its a flat deck, full single concaved low rockered quad, they fly and make a fish seem pretty dull and boring....
Mini simmons/fish thing! 5’6 by 22 and 1/2 by 2 and 7/8ths thick! This board is like a silver bullet in waves under head high! I’ve ridden a few fish designs and this thing blows them away in small waves! I ride mostly logs and paipo’s and this board catches waves like a log, and turns like a thruster. It’s also the fastest board I’ve ever ridden. The big keel fins give it heaps of drive, so it’s not skatey like most twinny’s.
Great, more suggestions. I put one of my fish up for sale and checked out the local shops “funboard” selection. The only thing I to my original post was that many times I am surfing less than optimal conditions. So, I’m looking for the best board in “average” beach break conditons…which I would have to say is semi-sloppy. Going to go now and check out the fat bat website.
Mahady’s orange quad pretty much nails it imo… large tail block will catch small waves, narrower front end, four fins… man, I think I just found my fish altenative
Simmons inspired all over it, but looks like a much more versatile board.
