No. Nice find though. Looks like they'd do a beginner really well.

Funnily have come across both these labels.
The first was through a mate, he bought a 9 foot Blackhawk mal for his wife. Looked very nice but suffered very serious delamination on the deck. Can't say if it was from poor treatment or poor quality.
My first SUP was a Force, bought online. Except for a bit of water seeping in and discolouring the bamboo around one fcs plug, it was still in pretty good nick when I sold it after a few years of abuse.

Thanks guys. What kind of waves do you think that force fish would suit? I'm not really a beginner but haven't surfed in a while or a fish shape before and once I'm back into it hoping to surf some decent waves.

Do yourself a favour and check out east coast surfboards I bought 2 boards for less than the price of a JS .There boom box model is a rip off of the JS monster box but its better built with higher density foam has better glass job and comes with fcs2 fins .This boards has heaps of paddle power because there wide and fairly chunky but turn really well due to there awesome bottom contours and low rails Im 95kgs and average surfer the 6,4 is the best board ive ridden Ive found instant speed and turning ability again .
