5'3 Fish Surfboard... A little to small...

[@MikeStrip]

Riding a giraffe through a tornado with everything on fire is the best thing I’ve heard in years! Thanks for breaking down all of the aspects of this board.

I am writing this before you give your opinion on the board. But I'd say it looked good under your feet. You seemed comfortable with it and you were able to make some nice turns with it. You made it look fun. Makes me want to get another fish. I had a 5'3" fish hand made by Kalu Colletta and that thing was amazing. I sold it some time back to get something else. I shoulda kept it. I learned my lesson. Probably have him make another! You should take both fishes out on a good day there and surf them both in the same session and get a good comparison. Just a thought. Keep it up.

Benjamin! Thanks bro! I think next good day of swell I’ll try and take both boards out I’m pretty curious my self.

[@bubbadigital]

[@the_colbs]

Legend! Thank you brotha 🙏

[@XBAKERXBAKERX]

Yeah looked a litte lose...be interested to see in hollower waves! Thanks!

That’s such weird rails to have on a retro fish! They should be pretty much 50/50 from the front just above the wide and start tapering to hard. I can see why it paddles so terribly. You still surfed it great though! You need to try a proper retro lis/skip fish, you’d love it !

[@the_colbs]

Totally! thank you! its definitely a strange little board. I'd love to try lis/skip - someday!

[@Petepato3]

Intresting feeback / analysis! What about the bottom contours?

[@the_colbs]

Stoked you think so 🤘 the bottom is one single concave that is almost flat and then actually runs flat out the tail.

the fish life!🐟

[@EpicValoxy]

I'm a kid and I'm 4,6 do you recommend this board you're using in this video considering my height?

[@the_colbs]

Yeah at your size a 5’3 fish could be a great board.

[@EpicValoxy]

@@the_colbs Tysm!

[@EpicValoxy]

@@the_colbs Also what is this board called where can I find it?

[@the_colbs]

@@EpicValoxy this was a custom shape from San Diego. I’m not sure the shaper unfortunately. But any classic keel fin fish is a great board of choice 🤙

[@EpicValoxy]

@@the_colbs one last question is the formula fun 5'3" TWINNIE a good surfboard?

[@lucashildreth5692]

You surf a fish so well, I think you should ditch the shortboard and just do trips around the world riding twins!

[@the_colbs]

Thanks dude! That’s the dream 🙌🙌

[@Charismatica]

what's the dimensions of the panda? great waves bro!

[@the_colbs]

Thank you bro 😎 the panda is 5’9 20 7/8 2 9/16 36.3L

looks like you're surfing it too much off the tail. weight should be a bit more forward to get the board skimming faster before you turn. when you figure out how to get more speed out onto the shoulder and keep it through the turn you will be ready for the small fish grasshopper.
