Hi guys,

Anyone knows a good shaper kind of specialised in fish, twin fins or quad. I ride the lost rocket v3 6'1 36L but it needs a bit of size to perform well, i love those fish with this design in the photo, something like this board albumsurf.com/collections/utf but they are in the US (A friend showed me this brand)

I want a fish like this to cruise in small mushy surf, not looking to do any super fancy thing with it

I have a rasta torus that I've used a fair bit over the last couple of years, love surfing it, especially on clean fat waves...more refined than the average fish and has a lot of hold, no problem planting the back foot in waves under head high

Wouldn't call it a total grovel board like a baked potato....

Do you want to cruise or be more active and pump and do turns? I have boards that do both and they are very different. The Neal Purchase Jr twin I have that looks like your pic is pretty good in small surf, but I wouldn't call it a cruiser. It needs a very active style to keep it moving. In truly gutless small surf it isn't the best board I have.

I guess it depends how weak the waves you are on are.

Good question thedrip! It s always nice to be a bit more active and work the wave i reckon but i m not at a level where i can do too much fancy thing as well, but obviously a board where i can still do smooth cut back, some bottom top turn, i dont want a cruiser like longboard for sure. but clearly i want something that goes well in waves that dont have much power, easy to catch and generate some speed.

I would like a fish to handle exactly this type of 2 waves

Try Max from Eye Symmetry surfboards in Brookvale
He shapes all the different boards that you see Tom Carroll riding and in different constructions.
Think HyFy but made in Australia
Definitely worth checking out

I thought he'd stopped shaping he makes great boards

I've got a DVS hydro hull fish I'm thinking about selling, perfect condition. Goes good in small junk.

yeah i saw this model and reviews but will slide out too much for me. I just saw tonight the wasp of my friend that he loves, look really good and fun easy board to ride in small surf

A little big for me, and not getting much use. Doesn't seem to slide out, they're big find, kind of a cruisier style.

Good big guy fish or intermediate skill level surfer

That Simon Anderson fella might be able to knock something up for you
I hear he knows a few things about boards
