Big Fish Basics
Overcoming the maneuverability barriers of additional length with canted twin fins and a deep swallow tail, the Big Fish allows larger surfers to paddle effectively, and make rapid direction changes. The overall broad outline increases the volume and gives a powerful platform for acceleration when turning off the bottom. The almost parallel rails on the template allow the fish design to be stretched optimally to Big Fish lengths.
Nose
The smooth entry rocker aids in wave catching and paddling speed. The width assists in flotation, and allows occasional nose riding, a feat not usually associated with the fish design. The nose rocker gives way to a generally flat rocker throughout the body of the board, which further contributes to the board's acceleration and down the line speed.
Rail
The Big Fish has a flat deck with low soft rails transitioning into a harder edge near the tail. The relatively flat rocker throughout is softened by a shallow but extended vee bottom traveling through nearly 3/4’s of the board’s length. This combination increases flat out speed while encouraging rail to rail turning.
Tail
A classic fish style twin fin set up with a deep swallow tail. Wider than most designs, this width adds force to the push off the bottom turn for incredible horizontal speed, while the twin fins and subtle vee through the tail eases rail to rail transitions and enables powerful slashes off the top. A smaller trailer fin is available for really fast large waves, when more straight line surfing is required. |
