STEVE LIS AND THE FISH WAS BORN.

Steve Lis...



THE ALTERNATIVE SURF CULTURE

Steve Lis was born in San Diego in 1951. He was raised in San Diego, and started surfing at the age of 10 in 1961. He shaped and designed a stumpy, blunt-nosed kneeboard in his family garage in 1967. The 5'4" kneeboard featured flat-rocker with a split tail with twin fins. This design was called “the fish.”
