To help you to choose, here some options:


Double Bump Canard Quad

Invented by San Diego's fish guru Rich "Toby" Pavel and considered to be one of the most popular fish designs around the world, the double bump canard quad is a great board for both intermediate and advanced surfers alike. A performance minded fish that is the ultimate section connector. Sort of a must have in everyone's quiver. A very down-the-line, rippable board that can be ridden in a wide range of conditions from point surf to beach breaks, thigh high to well overhead.

The Swordfish

The newest evolution in modern fish design. Similar to rocket fish of the past with a narrower nose and fish tail, this board is purely a performance minded design. Basically combining my favorite attributes of my favorite fish I owned I set out to make a fish that worked well in top to bottom surfing, but still had the fast, down the line, double pump blinding speed that helps it connect sections. This board does an off the top snap more like a shortboard than a fish. With a sleek, thinned out fish foil and modern performance bottom contours, it planes and drives off your front foot like that of a wider fish. The long continuous curve in the outline in the last 18" of the tail makes for more stability in faster hollower waves and/or powerful rail surfing.

Twin Keel Fish

The original, traditional fish. The keels normally have a much straighter outline and look the part of a traditional keel fish, but have a nice foiled out, refined feeling without blobby noses and overly thick tails. My keels have a fair amount of vee in the front helping the surfer achieve the feeling of being IN the wave more so than on top of it. A double barrel concave through the fins with slight vee off the pins help achieve maximum drive down the line.




Twin Fin (Performance Twin)

My twin fins utilize a single wing swallow tail. The two stood up fins on top of the pannel vee bottomed board make for a quick snappy ride. Twin fins are the definition of fun in small facey surf and have a place in everyones quiver. They do effortless off the tops over and over again as you learn to surf off of your rail. I offer these boards both with flat vee bottoms and 4 channels. Four channel twin fins come as glass-ons only.

Five Finners (Bonzer)

Inspired by the campbell brothers 5 finned bonzer design these board utilize 4 side runner smaller fins along with a larger center fin accented by a deep double concave through the fins. Great for juicy waves and barrel riding. Also good for smaller days when added to a stubby/ fish style board. Great boards and a great addition or 3 to your quiver!
