what size?cant go wrong. Almost want to order a longer one as well.
Good question. Over 7oh up to 9. Not sure...what size?
If you go cc, ask whoever you do the order with for the new version. It’s not on his website but they are making them, He took out the beak and bladed the rails more. Will help with your beach break focus.So I'm ready to place an order but would like the collective ERbb's opinion. For beach break - album moonstone or Christenson long phish? going 6'4. Any input will be much appreciated.
thank you!If you go cc, ask whoever you do the order with for the new version. It’s not on his website but they are making them, He took out the beak and bladed the rails more. Will help with your beach break focus.
They are pretty different boards. I'd pick the moonstone out of those 2 any day at a bb. The nautilus, new long phish, or wolverine sounds like a better bet to me if you want to stick with the CC line. The OG long phish is probably a ton of fun at a point or a softer lined up reefSo I'm ready to place an order but would like the collective ERbb's opinion.

i don't love a forward foam foil in a beach break.A longer lane splitter swallow is a great idea. I was looking to keep get that fishy drivey feeling tho and I don’t think either the LS or the Wolverine have that feeling. Having a 6’3 moo is and you wouldn’t suggest one for what I’m looking for?
I think most would say they don't think "fish", when talking beach breaks. Plenty of other boards out there that fit much better in a hollower wave face while also being easier to duckdive. I've had great sessions at some, but really depends on the wave/conditions. Curious, what are you riding now?A longer lane splitter swallow is a great idea.

If your currently on a cc fish and really liking it at your break, than I think your on the right track and another cc seems like a no brainer. I'm sure he can put you on the right model.Thank you all for the advice and feedback.
@trifish - I ride a 5’10 cc fish most of the time. Looking for something longer to help get in earlier in the bigger steeper days. Just can’t get off my fish and want something that transitions well for me on the bigger days.
+1, worth a look.Seems like it is hit or miss for some folks, but maybe add the Nautilus to your list as well? Also, the Osprey comes in a variety o fin setups and could be another good option.
I do. It is an awesome board for the larger waves I ride in Central Florida and is a natural step up from a fish. I have a fishy quiver that ranges from 5'5" Twin Keel, 5'7" quad fish and the 5'10" Cafe Racer.If your currently on a cc fish and really liking it at your break, than I think your on the right track and another cc seems like a no brainer.

@billypilgrim
Didn't you have a cafe racer at one point or am I thinking of somebody else? I've always been a little intrigued by that one.
I had a 6’0 cafe racer for a minute. Didn’t click with it and flipped it after a couple underwhelming sessions with too many blown waves. I was riding TKF a lot then, and had high hopes for it. Maybe archer not arrow, but it felt like it bogged on steeper sections when I wanted to crank a big tum. I don’t know if it was those rails or the rocker, or a lil longer rail line but it just didn’t do what I wanted it to. YMMVI do.

The Cafe Racer can handle some solid size in spite of its mellow rocker, both front side in backside, probably due to the down rails. It isn't the best option in dumpy waves where the bottom falls out, but otherwise it is a super versatile board. I've had mine for a while and rode it quite a bit when I lived in CA, surfed it a lot in the Northern Outer Banks, and have taken it to PR. I like taking it out on hurricane swells and bigger NE swells here in Florida.
Nice sled Mike. Looks Lis-like.I've been through a lot of fish and this is a current fav.
6'8 x 21 x 2 5/8 tapered rails with a good tucked edge running from tail to 2/3rds up towards the nose. LOTS of nose rocker and low to medium tail rocker. Single concave the whole bottom.
Quad set up
Friend shaped it locally, based off another friend's pavel.
This thing surfs so well from waist to Almost double oh with the sweet spot somewhere in between.
Playing with different fins= totally different boards in one platform.
Point is @Maz , deviate just a bit from the true san diego style flatter rockered short fish, by adding length, then also add outline curve, rocker and bottom contours and that's the ticket if wanting something beyond a cruiser.
