CI Skinny Fish (twin with rearward placement). 5’8
Was it this one with the netting ?
Stamps 5’4” Twin Keel Fish Surfboard - sporting goods - by owner -...
In great condition. Full dims in pics. One ding on swallow tail tip that’s been fixed professionally and some pressures here and there. Hate to let it go, but I need more foam these days. Lowballers...

Was that when it was new? With UL glassing it should be getting pressures just looking at it

I ended up getting the same thing as a quad because as good as it was frontside I struggled with it backside
IMO every true fish is a good wave board. I actually don't think they grovel that well.
I'd concur except my fish has a tri plane bottom that still generates speed when its small.
I just change the fins depending upon the wave range on the day.
Grovel fins are the flex twins for shorter radius turns and good wave control fins are the Lovelace Piggybacks.

Wills Fish by Lovelace is the best good wave fish I've had to date.
No. Fishbeard just doesn’t speak to me.
Also, a few people i know who are very very good surfers looked terrible on them and ended up getting rid of them.
I’ve seen other people ripping on them though.
There’s a guy who surfs one of the points backside on one and it works for him.
I thought about getting a custom with rearward fin placement but got on the Album cool-aid and dropped the idea.
Sorry I can’t be more definitive.
There’s one for sale at a shop near me (Trim Craft version) and I’ve been eyeballing it for quite some time.
What fins do you run in yours?

I've got a 5'4" Christenson I'm pretty fond of. Haven't pushed it into anything bigger than shoulder high yet though.
Lovelace Piggyback keel. Tried the board with the CC keels which is kind of my go-to and it went fine. Switched to the Piggybacks and it kind of lit up. More drive and squirt, went bottom to top better. Haven't tried anything different since. I should mention mine is a Varial. I imagine the poly version might feel quite different from a performance standpoint.
Looks like Lovelace just dropped an even more high-performance version of the Wills Fish. You gotta be a small guy to ride it though.

Some of my best moments on my Burch 5'4 Squit have come on an overhead day at a lefthand reef point. Once the fins got the water rushing past them it just locked in and carved all along it with so much speed and flow. Was kinda eye-opening in terms of what those boards are meant for. Obviously, I'd seen Ryan's section at the point in Psychic Migrations, but I didn't know it would actually translate a tiny little bit to how I could surf on it.
+1 So lucky I got mine back after 10 years. So much better than other fish I've surfed the past couple of years.
Grovels ok too.
You should try a McNeill Rasta Torus twin but in a 5'8". Then you'll be feeling like Rasta doing his signature drop wallet cutties. Gaz has a special going with free international shipping and insurance.
