[Phil]

jonny im jelious mate that board looks soooo nice how about giving me a nice big discount on one for being such a loyal customer :lol:

k mac the boards ok great to learn on, there pretty much bulit proof so if you want a board to learn on thats gonna last years then there worth geting, but i want to get a more traditonal longboard that i can do drop knee turns and hang 5 a little easyer

[Broosta]

DeathFrog - One too many bottom turns ! I knew it was shallow but...

The "fish" design was accidentially designed by a California by the name of Skip Fry, He was making a kneeboard one day and his test-rider discovered when completed he could actually stand on it. This was in a time of 7 foot long shortboards...the original one was (I believe) 5'10" long, they are twin-fin design with large traditionally wooden fins that face straight ahead...as opposed to the "hybrid" fish which is a combination of old fish shape with modern fin systems.

In essence; a fish is short, wide and thick with a very broad nose and a big swallow tail.

If you want to see one go into www.swaylocks.com and search for fish. It's all there, history & all.

Top reply whoever that was .

[gulfsurfer]

Trying to get this board bought, its gotta a lil tail damage, but it can be fixed easy.

[gulfsurfer]

i dunno why it didnt show the bottom of it
8'2

The fish reply was me, thanks Broosta. Actually, real fish aren't that good to ride, I'm lucky enough to have one I bought years ago before they became cool again (and expensive). My Girlfriend at the time thought it looked "cute" and suggested I buy it...who was I to argue :-)... They go real fast in a straight line & gentle carving kinda turns...like pumping a longish skateboard along, but nope...there is a reason why board design moved on. I much prefer a hybrid fish.
Cheers

[globesurfer]

That, young man, is a swallow tail shortboard.
A fish (strictly speaking) has a distance of about 6 inches from the center stringer out to each tip of the swallow tail. So the old experts say on Swaylocks.
