THE SECOND EVOLUTION OF THE FISH



THE ALTERNATIVE SURF CULTURE

     The fish model have evolved since his reapperance, in to a blending of modern designs with baseline outline. The bottom now with array of single to a double barrel concaves between fins has set a standard. In my case due to an average hability, combined with the downhill fitness of age, the fish is the Holy Grail. This mutant combination has become a quiver standard and even a fish composed quiver, wich is my case. Very easy to catch waves, very stable and finaly with a quad fin arrangement which gives the speed punch that many of us need.
     Mike Hynson with combination of Sean Mattison has fusion the perfect blend with a awsome result. Now Mattison has started, what I call the second evolution, directing this outline to the next performance level with the Von Sol surfboards. Is very interesting the variety of his designs which cover a vast variety of wave conditions and styles. The importance of their contribution is mantaining a basic structure and the essence of the Lis fish. Is interesting to observe this new contours and try this shapes in your bag of surf experiences.
