A fish-tail wave board built for small swell and choppy conditions, combining high nose volume with a classic fish tail for snappy turns without losing grip.

Rocker type
Flat rocker
- Flat rockerthis board
- Shape: Almost straight through the middle, lifting only at the tips
- Feels: Fast and stable. It gets up on the water early and holds its speed. It can feel harsh in chop, and landings are firmer.
- Suits: Light wind, cruising and freeride, riders who want speed and upwind. Less suited to big jumps and rough water.
The curves are idealized. A real board's rocker won't look exactly like them. In general. Brands use these names loosely, and the outline, flex and fins change how a board feels as much as the rocker does.
