NSP fish board

Postby Euan » Mon Oct 30, 2006 5:54 pm

I have recently decided to buy a NSP 6'0 fish board as right now i have a 7'6 minimal and i need a new board.

Can anyone please tell me if this board is any good or if they know of a different fish that i can look at within my budget of £250

hmm i reckon if uve been surfing a while then it might not be worth getting an nsp. theyre supposedly heavier than a fibreglass board. ks does seem to be good at making fish possibly tlk to him yeah.

The NSP fish is very heavy - fish are supposed to be light! :shock: :roll:


For £250 you'll be able to pick up a very decent second hand one, or a brand new custom one for only a bit more.

If you're ready for a 6' fish, you're ready for a custom :wink:

Yea, when I used it, it didn't sway from rail to rail nicely and weighed a ton!

For 250 maybe a tad more, Kitesurfer might be able to hand shape you a custom.

Good luck


PS> Kitey...I expect commision! :lol:

I have just been looking around on the internet and have found a Cortez 6'3 fish and i was just wondering if anybody knows what the boards like.
