old school fishes

[Sleek Zeke the Peak]

I'm considering an twin-fish; one of the old school style ones. Like either the Joel Tudor fish or the Derek Hynd/Bushrat one.
What I want to know is: are they good boards for 'all-round' conditions - or really just for long point waves?

I want a board that encourages a very fluid style; that I can focus on maintaining speed through turns. I want to do less vertical/explosive surfing; favouring fluid, speed, & smooth figure-8 cutties.

However - I want a board that will still give me fun on short rides.

Can anyone provide feedback on these style of boards??

Now Fish. A topic dear to my heart, but really I could write a fleshin novel bout them and it's all been written before, countless times. If you want to see thousands of posts (I'm not kidding- 16,000 plus posts) written by lovers, shapers, riders & masters of all things piscitorial go to shapers site www.swaylocks.com. Search under the word "fish" and see what happens.

But before you ask any questions - search. They bite otherwise.

You mean to say that you're not going to spoon-feed me at all!!??

Seriously, though. If you are wise on the subject, I would love to hear your answers to my query.
I did get a hefty response back from Derek Hynd, but it didn't really address what I was asking.

In the meantime, I'll check out the other forum & let you know how I go....

Nice site..... still ploughing through it, but the first couple of threads have tuned my right in!

It seems my new board choice is on the right lines to what I am after......

I've got an old 24"-30" 1970s skateboard, real flexy deck & poly wheels. I'm looking for that flow.... & cutties; that's all I want: cutties with flow, style & speed.
