Fish
Fish shaped surfboards have a wider outline through the nose, centre and tail, and are typically designed with a swallow tail. These surfboards have a low rocker profile, which not only makes them very stable, but ideal for smaller, softer surf conditions because they can easily hold speed. A Fish Surfboard is ideal for an individual wanting to learn the basics of maneuvers on a wave, with the tail easier to pivot off. Our range includes thruster fish Surfboards, Quad Fish Surfboards as well as Twin fin Fish Surfboards. From Al Merrick to Vampirate we have got you covered!

Mick Fanning Kuma Fish
The World Surf League (WSL) x MF Softboards Global Shaper Challenge was conceived to raise awareness of the creatives who are the heart and soul of the sport of surfing as part of the WSL's #StayLocal campaign, which shines a light on the world's best surfers supporting their local surf communities and inspiring surfers everywhere to do the same.
Shapers, designers and creatives from all surf regions globally were invited to enter a CNC file and softboard design concept and the response was overwhelming.
Four designs were selected through a public vote via the WSL Instagram story to progress to the final.
Designs from Alex Crews @acsod, Axel Lorentz @pukassurf @axellorentz, Mitsunori Kumagai @kumasurfboards and Gerardo Candelaria Perez @cevichesurfco were produced utilising MF Softboards production process which is the global bench mark for performance softboards.
Along with the four finalists Mick also selected two entries to move directly into the final. The wildcards are Duke Aipa @aipasurf and Kamalei Woolsey Alexander from @modernhawaiiancollective.
Starting with the CNC file that each designer submitted during round one of the competition we milled their design from an EPS blank. Once the EPS core was finish shaped our Hybrid Carbon Spine and Epoxy Shell construction was utilised to ensure maximum performance in the water.
All six boards were delivered to Mick for him to put them through their paces on the peeling righthand walls of his home break Snapper Rocks.

"Great Small Wave Catcher" The Flat deck makes increases the volume to help catch waves and provide more speed in poor conditions, A Slight forward placed concave bottom with a deep exit Vee that increases the tail rocker. This board is incredibly fast and finds hidden pockets of speed on waves. Enjoy..............."
Mitsunori Kumagai is KUMA surfboards shaper. He was born and grew up in Japan. In 2005 Kuma decided to move to Australia to pursue his passion of surfing and make surfboards. His first board was shaped in a garage at a rented house. Since then he has been shaping surfboards for 15 years.

With a shape that’s more today than yesterday, our modern “fish” design is built for speed. Excelling in chest to overhead high waves, it performs on those hollow, glassy days, yet enjoys mushy, sloppy and less than perfect conditions too.
Comprised of a full nose and wide mid, with clean balanced curves that blend into a swallow tail. The bottom contours through single to double concave with a lightly flipped nose. Tune to your taste with Tri-Quad option.

Torq Tec Fish - White
ALL ABOUT SPEED AND FLOW.
In keeping with the original Torq Fish design, this is by far the fastest board in the TEC line. The Fish makes surfing down-the-line waves an effortless thrill ride – highline speed and wide eyed grins. We have re-worked the design a little with a modern tweak so you can keep all that speed under control with fluid direction changes and smooth rail to rail flow.
Designed for drawing long arcs on clean waves the Fish’s width and volume also makes it a great choice for more intermediate surfers looking for a shorter board. It’s equally at home in average surf, where the large planning area delivers performance in weaker waves.

Torq Channel Islands X-Lite Pod Mod - 6'2"
Surf fast, Built to Last
Overview
In 2000 the original Pod rapidly became a global favourite, allowing surfers to drop six inches off their shortboards and revolutionise punting.
The Pod Mod design is a heavily modified Pod, designed to be ridden even shorter and wider than the original, catering to the surfer that wants a little more volume forward to catch waves but doesn't want to sacrifice performance. The tail has been widened for small wave glide, and the original single to double concave has been replaced with a flat entry to concave vee for quick rail to rail transitions.
Experienced surfers ride this board 3- 6" shorter than you are tall.
