Your Guide to Fish Surfboards

The fish surfboard has proven to be one of the most versatile surfboard designs to come out of San Diego. The fish surfboard design started in the mid-sixties and is still going strong today. Just about every surfboard manufacturer now has their own shapes and styles of the fish surfboards.

Types of Fish we offer

The Quad Fish Surfboards we offer at Isle Surfboards is a variation of a shortboard. These boards are typically slightly shorter than normal shortboards and noticeably wider. Quad Fish surfboards incorporate swallow tails, which increases its wave-catching ability and provides a looser board. These boards perform well when the surf is small, yet still allow for high performance maneuvers in mushy surf.

The Big Guy Fish Surfboard has been making a comeback in the last few years. These boards provide rail to rail turning and speed for flat sections for bigger heavier guys who dont want a longboard. With their added width and thickness, they make wave-catching and speed a breeze. You can paddle into soft waves and speed around sections. Today, there are many varieties of retro fish surfboards but most share similar features, including a twin fin design, swallow tail, and low rocker.

Versatility of the fish

Today's fish surfboards are shaped with many different approaches to the design, but don't be deceived by their odd shapes; these boards are fast! The speed, performance, and range of surf that can be ridden on these boards is something that can only be understood by riding one. We have developed two different styles of the fish surfboard that will fit most peoples' tastes. You choose the design that suits you best and take your surfing to an all new level.
