New board 6'1 fish

Postby derbyshire surfer » Sun Dec 30, 2007 12:13 am

Hi everyone,

I just won this on ebay, I've been surfing a few years and can find my way with my 7'6 Carpet down the line on a good day. Thought I'd ask if anyone else has moved from a similar size board to a fish, if it's a fairly natural move and if there's anything I should do differently from my longer board? Hopefully Christen it on Monday at Scarborough!

can't go wrong with price, what are the full dimensions? i reckon after a couple of sessions you'll be getting used to it

Hi Surfdude, I'll be heading over tonight, probably kipping in Cyton car park. I've preferred South Bay myself recently, will check out Cayton, but no doubt end up at S.Bay. If you see me I'm in a Red Punto, give us a shout. Should be around from 6am ish depending how well I slepp loL!
