All-Round Surf

The FISH 8.8 is one of the big brothers to the FISH 7.11 and the underling to the FISH 9.5. Geared towards a small to mid-size rider who paddles in small to large surf, if you charge then you will be “in charge” on the FISH 8.8. The board is surprisingly stable for its length due to its fish outline and wide swallowtail. No wave is the same and every break is different so the FISH 8.8 is your Swiss Army Knife for the waves. It can carve up anything!

GC Glass Composite

Our GC and GCI constructions offer a double wrapped fiberglass composite and a reinforced tuff-wood deck. The GCI models have the added benefit of our Innegra™ tip, rail and tail reinforcement areas. This construction also offers our light weight cnc/eps core. The GC and GCI boards feature our ergo undercut carry handle and gore-tex breather vent.

This is a surf shape board.

Standard Characteristics: Have a broad range of use like that of a beach cruiser or a BMX bike. These boards are designed for fun cruising paddles to hard charging maneuverable surfboards. Easily identifiable by their iconic surfboard outlines, they are scaled up in volume and width to float you while you are cruising or waiting for your wave in the line-up. The rocker lines are appropriately adjusted to meet the performance needs of the paddler and intended use. This style of board is not designed to paddle great distances as they have a lower glide ratio when compared to a displacement or planing design. Longboard style shapes have a moderate rocker for more of a long board feel and recreational paddling. Shortboard style shapes have a more progressive rocker to promote carving the wave face. Fin setup can vary from a single main fin to thruster and quad setups.
