light wind, surfboard for the surf

yes, a fish board rocks in light wind and small waves

but i think robbie naish made that board for ronald mcdonald and his big red feet

22inches and straps aint gunna work

could 22inches when the board is underpowerd work?
did you have a go at the 2012 fish? or other extra wide wave surfboard style?

Yep, regular fish surfboards are 21 wide (straightish rail outline and flatish rocker)

the extra width = a few meters of kite

and i have found in light winds you can flatten out the board and drive off the fins really hard upwind (i assume that is how a race board works ?? )

i've not used a naish fish but by looking at it i recon you'd spend 95% of the time out of the straps

was the nish 2012 fish?

Hi Ice,

The Cardboard Wave 148 is a totally different style to the North Nugget. The North Nugget is a full surfboard whereas the Wave is a mutant style board.

The Nugget is wider, especially in the tail and nose, deep double concave and has a true Quad fin setup.

The Wave is more tucked in the tail, has moderate double concave, thruster fins (80mm) and twin tip shaped nose with twinny fins.

The Nugget is designed as a light wind smaller wave fun board. It is loose, planes super early, has very little rocker to allow speed and early planing, the Nugget snaps tight turns and has grab rails for strapless airs. It is light and strong. A really surprising board that needs a demo to believe what it's capable of.

The Cardboard Wave is for more powered riding and can ride backwards equally well on the nose. It is heavier and virtually impossible to break. It comes strapped and would be difficult to ride strapless. It needs to be ridden backwards or toeside one way. It's made for powered carves and boosting off waves. A more crossover board for those who crave more than just wave riding.
