6'6 yancy quad fin fishtail hybrid

Postby johnniejr243 » Thu Jul 24, 2008 1:54 pm

Ok so, i have done numerous of searches and cant find the answer!
I know how people feel about fish boards, but what i am curious about is what will theYancy 6'6 fishtail quad fin hybrid accomplish in shin to knee high waves, also keep in mind the board has a round nose and not a normall short board nose. I have a 8'7 NSP now and i love it in those waves but i want to be able to have more fun in them!

Shin to knee high waves generally require a bertha of a board for you to be able to get up and ride. As for having fun in them with any type of board, well i guess that depends on your dispostion.
The board looks good to me though and im sure it will be fun in the small stuff but shin high really is pushing the boundarys of is it really worth going in!
