From Retro to Hybrid: Why the Fish Shape is Loved Worldwide

A World of Speed and Maneuverability

Hey surfers, ever thought about adding a Fish board to your quiver? If not, get ready to change your mind. This unique shape is a gem in the surfing world, blending the best of shortboards and longboards. Here’s why every serious surfer should have a Fish in their lineup.

Nose: The Perfect Balance

Let’s start with the nose. A Fish board offers the perfect blend of longboard stability and shortboard maneuverability. The result? A nose that’s slightly pointed but wide, giving you the best of both worlds.

Dimensions: Beyond Length

Size matters, but not in the way you might think. With Fish boards, it’s all about volume distribution. These boards are designed to be wide and thick, while keeping the length manageable. That’s why with Blide, every board is customized to perfectly fit your style and needs. Check out our catalog here!

Rocker: The Perfect Curve

Rails and Swallow Tail: Details That Make a Difference

The full rails and distinctive swallow tail make the Fish shape stand out. These features enhance buoyancy and maneuverability, turning every wave into an unforgettable ride.

Fish boards have evolved from the retro models of the ’70s to the more modern hybrids. The difference mainly lies in fin setup and dimensions. So, which one is right for you? At Blide, we’re here to help you make the perfect choice.
