I brought a fish

I was down in wellington for work and saw a 6'0 nsp fish package for only $300!
Bit of an unplanned purchase but figured I could at least sell it for $350-$450 back at home if I didn't like it.

I've been looking for a smaller wave board for awhile as I've never really clicked with my 5'10 hypto thing. The 6'0 fish packs 36l which is 3 more than my 5'10 and I imagine the tail would be a lot loser than my 5'10 pin.

I picked it up and to be honest I like it! The shape feels really good- heaps of double / vee which I like for small boards and I imagine the tail would be fun too- only 15 3/8" wide which is reasonably narrow.
I can't wait to use it in th summer! Only downside is that the fins are not fcs, futures or able to be swapped.

Look for "NSP Fin Adapter". I have them on my 10+ year old NSP 6'4" Fish. I just use the side fins of the MR-TX fins.

ahh that's cool! Wonder if anyone sells them over here! The stock fins on it feel pretty crap- super flexy. Can't
Imagine they would hold very well in anything over 2ft.

How do you find yours wkk? Probably similar or same bottom design as yours?

It should have the same overall outline and bottom contours but just in a smaller package. I agree on the stock fins being overly big and plasticky-flexy. A good tip is to run the stock fins without the center fin if you can't find the FCS adapters. I really like how the board feels running it just as a twin.
