Identity unknown?

[Patrick__69]

So ive been in the business of used boards and this is a 6'0 Retro fish and the only pic the dude had of this board was wondering if you could identify it.

the job would be alot easier if we could read the logo's.
try posting the image on swaylocks.

That is the size he sent me its very fishy. I wonder if something is wrong with it and that is why.

[pat42]

Maybe that's the real size of it...........it's a 6" instead of 6'

[Patrick__69]

6'0" B. Santos Retro Fish #7805
6'0" x 21 1/2" x 2 3/4"
Futures Fins (Twin)


Are future fins removable or glassed on?

[Patrick__69]

6'3" Sitka shortboard. Al Merrick flyer replica. 19.5" wide and 2.5" thick. brand new condition. ridden twice. FCS G5 fins. board is a medium grey in color and polished fiberglass. $500 with FCS bag and leash or $450 without bag.

How does this look for a guy switching from a 7'6 longboard. It is fairly thick?

Nice board.. you may have some difficulty switching down to a twinny fish from a 7'6". They're much much looser.

You might want to look at a hybrid 3-fin thruster in the 6'6"-6'8" range, or an egg.

but if you're committed to working at it, I'd say go for it.

On re-read; is the fish 6'3"? Or are you looking at two different boards (6' fish and a 6'3" standard thruster)?

Thinking about it.. either would probably be ok for you, though they'll take some getting used to and you'll feel like a grom again for a bit.

[Patrick__69]

Ya they are two different boards I think I might go for the Fish

I stepped down from a 7'6 minimal to a 6'2 fish in under 6 months and took to it like a fish to water
People will always try to tell you what you 'cant' do but thats bollox, if your focused and commited anything is achievable
