Rad Fish

Rad Fish - Matte
Quick View

The Rad Fish is a modern twin fin designed for speed. Inspired by the original fish but updated for today’s performance needs, it maintains the classic fish traits of speed and float, combining a full rail and outline with a single to double concave bottom with a vee off the tail for enhanced skate-like flow and vertical performance.
A versatile board that blends smooth rides with sharp, dynamic turns, the Rad Fish should be a staple in every surfer's quiver.

Wave Type - 2-5ft

Board Feel - Fast and fun

Skill Level - Intermediate to Advanced

Easy Rider 2.0

 We have been working on this model for several years, aiming to design the ideal surfboard design for intermediate level surfers as well an ultra-fun alternative board for those who are more advanced. The Easy Rider 2.0 is more refined than its predecessor, we have thinned out the nose and pulled in the tail so that its lighter in weight and has more manoeuvrability offering tones of surface glide and speed down the line. As the name suggests this board is not only super easy to ride but it’s all round just far easy to manage. Basically this is as user friendly as a surfboard gets, all the stability and paddle power of a bigger board but without the cumbersome size and weight. 

It’s easy to move around in the line-up and fits in your car so you don't need to worry about roof racks. If you are looking to progress from a soft top or looking for the perfect entry level board then the ER 2.0 is the go! For the more advanced you can go super short for a great skatey summer board.
