It seems we've concluded that the "fish" board in topic really isn't a fishboard as much as a long and wide shortboard with slight swallow tail!

Hence the question becomes more like, which is the better beginner board - either a smaller funboard, or a bigger shortboard.... ?

i think a fish is short and fat but i never knew it had to have 2 fins

Yep a real retro fish is short, as in is supposed to be shorter than the person riding it, its wide point (i think) is a few inches forward of the middle. Generally they have lots of vloume in the nose. they also have two keel fins with no toe-in whatsoever (i.e dead straight) and a swallow tail. Thats what I have been lead to believe constitutes a real fish, like Brents twin fin. He also has a hybrid fish which is just a short fat thruster with a swallow tail and more volume than your average performance board.
