Surfboards and surf accessories

Fish surfboards are quite common in the lineup, especially on small wave days. The term “fish” is applied to many types of surfboards however. So just what is a fish surfboard? There are two main types:

Traditional Fish – Also called the retro-fish. Very wide surfboards (around 22 inches) at around 6ft in length. They are also quite thick, usually 2.75 to 3 inches. Sometimes these have twin deep keel fins, much like 1970’s fish but more common today is to have a twinzer or quad fin setup (both 4 fin setups). Very good flotation for the length.
