Maybe you’re thinking about getting into surfing or you already are into it and you’re looking for a little something different. We are talking about the fish surfboard today and if you have just recently seen it for the first time, you might think it looks a little odd for a shortboard. When you look a little closer, you’ll notice the fish surfboard is really thick, wide and short and has a big tail that resembles a fish.
There are many benefits to using a fish board. To start, a fish board will give you a lot of speed in small waves. While a short board might be hard to use in weak, small surf and a longboard will give you speed, the fish board will let you cruise with speed on those small waves. It’s also an easy and fast paddle. Because there is more volume in the fish board, there is more buoyancy and that means it cruises better on top of the water. It’s also easier to catch waves and maneuver with a fish board so you get a little bit of everything.
All that being said, there are many manufacturers that put their own spin on the fish surfboard and we are here to offer information on some of the best fish boards out there for 2019. All of the boards below are highly rated and would make great choices for you and the family.
