This board has many features from Chris' fish design; low rails, belly in the nose, single concave through the fin region, and low rocker. The round nose offers more paddling power to keep the board as short as possible for performance. The step in the nose displaces the volume out of the wide plan shape to make the board lighter, more flexible, and more responsive. The dual marine ply fins offer drive and hold with positive buoyancy. The straight back and rounded corners of the tail offer more release in the pocket than other fish designs. This model is currently one of my best sellers and Chris highly recommends one in every quiver.
