Well, trigger pulled.  ::)

*The behavior of this board on the wave is like a mix of the Simmons' wide tailed planing ability and the pintail's control on the turns.

 

That sounds just just about PERFECT. 

Great review, thanks for sharing!

Balance-fit - Excellent and informative review with a high level of detail. The fish might be a perfect complement to the Recon 9 that I am getting to know and like!

Thanks mrbig. After demoing many boards beyond the ones mentioned on the review, i felt that the little nuisances really count. And no review is complete until one goes as far as possible with these details.
The fish and the recon sound like a very good match for many types of conditions ! Keep us posted on your Recon experience as well !

b-f... nice review... I also missed this on the earlier rounds.

Thanks for taking the time to go into detail.... I know that is what I'm looking for when someone has ridden a new shape.

Said by a Master of detailed reviews, supthecreek ! I'm still striving to review as thoroughly as you and others here do, but, sans video, impossible !

Will update this review later in the season. Still gathering feedback from this board, what a blast !

I built my first fish back in 2010 I think and have been ridding them ever since, the shape works so well for a sup especially in crapy waves although they are happy in the big stuff to. The speed and performance you get is so much fun I just love them and you can go a lot smaller than a traditional pointy style board. I'm 6'3 and my 7'4x28 (yellow and orange) us my big board that I take out when it's blowing a on shore gale here in the uk. If you haven't tried this shape I highly recommend it and the sic looks great

I still marvel that you haven't (yet) been "signed" to a lucrative deal with a big manufacturer.

Interesting numbers, excellent shapes, still, a bit off my charts, for now. In the mean time, fish is very nutritive for one's sup surfing health, gotta have more! 

Thanks, be well
