Fish Project:
Three fishes, same dims, same outlines, same rails, same glass, same blank, three slightly different tail rockers, one different tail, one with glass-ons and a trailer, and two with 7” keels. Test day Friday on the new swell…stay tuned…
And the Winner Is ….
fish #3 (the red one) with more tail rocker, the stealthy shallow swallowtail ‘pizza slice’ so you can get your foot way back, the glass-on True Ames twins with small trailer, single-to-double-to-spiral vee hull contour, flat deck, u-deck, with tapered downrails especially thinned out through the fins for bite and responsiveness.
I also placed the fin cluster closer together on this one i.e. by moving the front fins further back and the back fin further up to pull a nice tight arc in turns.
My buddy Nick and I made a couple super fun days of it on the latest south swell riding all the different iterations of the new performance turbo fishy concepts. I got to have the pleasure of watching my friend do the best surfing I’ve seen in a very long time, and the funny thing is he hasn’t really even surfed in like 2 years as he’s been full tilt working at his custom boat business @rozsa.boats as well as loving on his growing family; it’s such a wonderful thing to see my friend thriving! And to get to see one of the best surfers ever to step foot on a board, paddle out and light it up natural as can be…is also amazing! And after a couple days of laughs and bunches of good rides, the verdict was in, “Todd, the red one is the one, don’t change anything about this board.” 5’7” x 20 5/8” x 2 1/8” 30.5L
