N.B. This board comes complete with five FCS fins and can be used as a quad or thruster
The speed fish is a modern take on a classic design. We've embraced the wider template common to the traditional fish giving the advantage of early planning, superior paddling ability and great wave count but combined it with a slightly narrower tail and increased nose rocker to ensure the confidence to make the late take off, lock the rail and enjoy confidence in more critical sections of the wave. We've also added a channel bottom running through the tail to really increase the hold and drive allowing you to either enjoy the super loose experience of surfing with smaller fins in small waves, or to take the board into situations you'd normally feel uncomfortable in with a fish.
As the name suggests this board is designed to turn your front foot into the accelerator with the lightest touch generating speed down the line. It's the board for you if you want the advantages of the fish template (more paddling ability, higher wave count and speed through flat sections on weaker waves) but to combine it with the ability to take on as wide a range of wave conditions as possible. In a range of sizes with the longer lengths accompanied by more volume and more forgiving rails the board is accessible to almost any surfer, however in the shortest lengths a thinner deck and hard rails in the rear third mean solid performance for anyone wanting to surf up to 6" shorter than their normal shortboard.
