From Lost
For three years, we've celebrated a quarter century of the #RoundNoseFish'96.
In those years, we've built thousands of them.
Many of them custom ordered, designed, and shaped with specific dims and details.
Considering it's based on a 25-year-old design, it's impossible not to want to adapt, adjust, and fine-tune the curves along the way.
For friends, team riders, myself, we did just that.
A tuck here and a nip there.
A little more curve and a little less bulk.
Blend the rocker, scoop the concave, and refine the rails.
A bit shorter,
A bit wider,
And so on...
Adding multi-fin set-ups and a wing, back into the fray.
All the time, looking for more speed, more quickness, more precision, and more fun.
Over time, an almost completely new species of fish evolved.
A new species of PISCES.
The PISCES: The evolution of the performance fish subspecies, where precision is paramount.
An evolving design, focused on eliminating the stigma of arrested development in the post-modern fish genre.
Embracing all that came before and bridging the gap forward.
Turn tighter in the pocket, carve perpendicular on the face, fin-free control in the lip, and still skate freely across the flats.
The "PISCES" represents our vision of the fish as an all-around performance vehicle, effortlessly efficient as an everyday board.
Bad waves, good waves, mid-level surfers, elite pros... and every wave (and everyone) in between.
Born from the repeatedly proven #RNF96. Refinements include:
A more pulled-in nose, with added rocker up front and flatter between the feet.
Deeper concave through the mid-section and increased curve through the rail-line rocker, under the rear foot.
A mellow wing, aligned to work with the front fins.
Five fin boxes, for multiple options: Quad, Twin+2, Twin+1, straight Twin, for you loosey-goosey, cool kids, and even a Thruster, for you diehards.
Additional vee to the swallow tips and a scooped-out deckline in the tail that more closely mirrors the bottom curve and brings improved pocket control.
With these adjustments, we've created a souped-up, sleeked-down hot-rod that raises the level of precision and maneuverability, without jeopardizing speed and stability. Hell, it might even be faster.

Hey Wooly, I never get bored watching you surf! Nice drone view too!

[@WoolyTV]

@@Canaryisland1 thanks for watching mate 🙏🤙

[@josh198599]

pwaaa Wooly said he'd post this end of the month and he didn't disappoint !!

[@WoolyTV]

@@josh198599 Don’t hold me to it! But that one went up when I said 😝🤙

[@surfgeek]

Great review Wooly . I get so much information about the board shape and performance characteristics watching you surf .

[@WoolyTV]

@@surfgeek thanks for watching 🙏🤙

[@MrFantxo]

Logo is crazy good. Thank you mate. Great vid 🎉

[@WoolyTV]

@@MrFantxo thanks for watching 🙏🤙. Yeah the logo is epic ⚡️

[@KookSurfing]

Thanks for another interesting review!

[@WoolyTV]

@@KookSurfing thanks for watching 🙏🤙

[@KookSurfing]

@@WoolyTV I enjoy your analyses. Keep 'em coming. Unfortunately, to stand up, I think I would need a 7' x 24" x 3" Pisces.

[@WoolyTV]

@ ha ha that’s ok too!

[@sammertens718]

sick review Wooly ! Would love to see a review of you on the rad ripper . i just got a 5"10 libtech 33.4l . im almost the same weight ass you 87kg 5"11 . but the boards always feel so big under arm , i feel like most board reviews are from people riding the smaller sizes . thats what i like about you seeing you rip the sizes for bigger guys .

[@WoolyTV]

@@sammertens718 the Rad Ripper isn’t on list for this year but I’ve heard that goes great. That’s the reason I started the reviews because I couldn’t find anyone doing relatable sizes to my height and weight. Thanks for watching 🙏🤙

[@inFAMOUSBeatsGFx]

0:08 11:08 Thought Margo Margs rode for Album 😉👀 So sick 🔥

[@WoolyTV]

@@inFAMOUSBeatsGFx That’s a massive compliment. Margo is one of my favourite surfers and a great bloke too 🙏

[@barty74]

Great vids Wooly because I am the same size and ride the same dims. I reckon you should do a local board review in future. I vote the Von REHAB in EPS - you can borrow mine (seriously), it goes sick!😎🤙

[@WoolyTV]

@@barty74 yeah Vons shapes a good board 🤙⚡️

[@ryantherock7664]

Great review Wooly,do you think the lost Pisces is better than the Pyzel white tiger for grovelling?

[@spkay6317]

Great review. Thanks! I was wondering why you didn't opt for the 5'9 which is in your normal volume range?

[@WoolyTV]

@@spkay6317 I like to go up in volume when I go shorter. This one felt perfect, such a good board.

[@spkay6317]

That’s interesting. Thanks mate.

[@decodedbyNoah]

Hi Wooly, thanks for the review! I’m almost the same size as you-1.88m and 90-91kg-and an intermediate surfer. I’m stepping down from a 7'2" Chilli Mid Strength (50L) and already own a 6'2" Pyzel Phantom XL (37,2L), which feels a bit too overwhelming for me. What size would you recommend for the pisces? I’m considering something between 6'2" and 6'4". I’d love a daily driver that’s fun and versatile-perfect for small to head-high waves, mostly at beach breaks but also for the occasional point break when it’s pumping. Or would you recommend a different board altogether? I recently came across the idea that rails can become too bulky, especially when bigger surfers try to size their boards to match their height and end up over-voluming them. But I'm just not good enough to surf low volume boards. Sorry maybe a bit confusing :D Thanks a lot!

[@WoolyTV]

@@decodedbyNoah ok if the Phantom is overwhelming then I would shoot for somewhere in the middle between that and the Mid Strength. 6’4” or 6’6”. Even the 6’6” will give you a completely different feel to you Mid 🙏🤙

[@decodedbyNoah]

​@@WoolyTV Hi Wooly, thanks for your reply! Since you’re also a bigger surfer, do you have any other board recommendations that might suit me? I’m curious about what you think would be a good fit for someone my size. Thanks!

[@WoolyTV]

@ I think this board be a good as a transitional board coming down from the mid.

[@decodedbyNoah]

​@@WoolyTV Cool! I really appreciate your insights. I’d love to hear if there’s another board you’d recommend, just that I can compare. I'm already sold for the picses :)

[@yorodan]

How do you feel about this vs the Xero Fusion?

[@WoolyTV]

@@yorodan The Fusion will surf up better than this one. It’s got less nose area and more rocker. The Fusion is more of a performance step down whereas this one is more fishy

[@Angelino13]

Thanks for this sick and informative review! Your backside timing in the pool was on point. Question - do you have a preference for boards like this being PU, epoxy or other tech? Did you find that this board in PU worked just fine in the pool? Thanks!

[@WoolyTV]

@@Angelino13 i had this one glassed as a team board in PU but if I was going to surf it in the pool regularly then I would opt for the EPS. I find the EPS board have more spark when the waves are smaller ⚡️

[@TylerCureton-cd9ty]

Looks fun!! You happen to try the RNF96 and notice a difference between the two?

[@WoolyTV]

@@TylerCureton-cd9ty yeah it was a beauty! Sorry I’ve never ridden a RNF but the major difference is the flyer and pulled in tail, so this one will have more hold through turns.

[@nelsonkuna]

Nice one looks a lot like a Stuart fx4 if you ever ridden one of those? I love mine

[@WoolyTV]

@@nelsonkuna nah I’ve not seen one of those 🤙

[@nelsonkuna]

Check em out mate Stu is an Aussie legend shaper from the Gold Coast makes awesome boards

[@WoolyTV]

@ yeah I’ve seen a bunch of his boards over the years, just not that model 🤙

[@quintintveld3371]

Very nice review! Really like your videos! I am 6’6 tall and 210lbs (advanced surfer) and I am considering to buy this board or similar for small waves. Do you recommend going for the same volume or going up a bit? Surfing at the North Sea in Holland

[@WoolyTV]

@@quintintveld3371 I’m riding this one about 2L more than my ‘normal’ boards. If you way more than me I would suggest going up at least an inch and maybe 2”. Thanks for watching 🙏🤙

[@quintintveld3371]

@ thank you for the reply! Appreciate it!🤙

[@JaxsonS-j9m]

Great review. Did you get a chance to try it as a quad?

[@WoolyTV]

@@JaxsonS-j9m I did ride it once as a quad and it felt great. I rode a large set of quads. Thanks for watching 🙏🤙

[@mattfrench9901]

Any of these in the shop Wooly?

[@WoolyTV]

@@mattfrench9901 not yet mate, I can get one for you easy enough.

[@trestlesrocks]

How would this compare to the FireWire mashup?

[@WoolyTV]

@@trestlesrocks pretty different feel. The Mash Up will out surf this board in head high surf but this one will out surf the Mash Up in waist high waves for sure.

[@trestlesrocks]

@ exactly what I wanted to know. I’m currently using a Cado as my waist to head high board and a Mashup for the steeper bigger days. For SoCal it’s a good setup. Pisces would probably be a good 1 board quiver here.

[@Bob-mj2jz]

Thanks Wooly, How would you compare it to the JS Sub Xero for Perth/WA beachies? Is it fair to assume the Pieces has a flatter rocker, which may prove more challenging around town?

[@WoolyTV]

@@Bob-mj2jz it’s been such a long time since I rode the Sub Xero and I was coming off injury so I didn’t fell like a gave it a proper go. Saying all that both a good grovel boards for Perth but I think you’re right the Sub Xero probably has a touch more nose rocker.

[@cryteslx8554]

I noticed on your and noel salas reviews that board is irrelevant and performance 99% depends on surfer, high performance board, groveler, mid length, fish, performance looks the same

[@WoolyTV]

@@cryteslx8554 I think you need to look at the subtle differences. I can feel each board has areas they perform in, wave size and conditions. You can’t compare a fish to a mid length, the lines on a wave are completely different. If you watch this review and the watch the JS Golden Child and the Slater Boss Up the surfing is nothing alike.

[@stevenyao8660]

Dude, those boards literally surf so different to my eyes

[@cryteslx8554]

@stevenyao8660 yep when it's mid length, but all shortboards looks the same, but it looks identical
