This board is fast and loose, has more nose rocker than a traditional fish type of board, and feels more stable on a steep take off than a fish. Fins are positioned higher on the board than a keel fin which I believe allows it to be looser than a keel fin fish. Dims are about 6'9 x 22 x 3, althought the thickness is primarily in the middle with the nose and tail being more thinned out.

I took it out on Wednesday in overhead El Porto and it dropped in early, and really has a fun "sling-shot" effect when turning off the bottom. This is a good thicker shape for a big guy or a great small wave board for a smaller person. I am 6'3 tall and 215 pounds.
