The twin keel fish craze of 10 plus years ago was a laughable sight to behold. Flocks of dweebs trying to surf uneven beach breaks on them

Machado makes them look good, problem is: I can't think of a less representative surfer than Rob Machado, he's about 45kilos dripping wet and a tiny little bloke.

be funny if fish became cool again though.

Totally right on both accounts and not really a good fit for everyday surfers in everyday surf here, also a 50/50 call every time you're on your backhand, might be great, might be crap

But when you do get some decent down the line waves just so much fun, and I reckon worth having one if you can. Great times on the jd keel fish.

If u get a 7ft go fish beery, it d be a long fish & probably ok for this thread.....otherwise get a 4'11 & a single fin midlength oozing "ouvre"

Cranked, I am sure that board would be amazing in Indo, GC beachies maybe not so......look forward to a ride report!

Hatchy, it's not about the keels, it's all about the beard, skinny jeans & the hand jives

^^ yeah, totally, i really just want to justify a man bun, and I can't do that without a keel fish!

I borrowed a keel fish back in the day to see what all the fuss was about. No thanks in Sydney beachies.

Did you have a man bun though Davros? This was probably the issue not the keels

If you mean the Lopez Jam, I didn't buy it, just out kicking tyres.

The one I'm doing up is 6'6"......tuflite
Quad. I reckon it will go better all round than the Fishcuit I used to ride.
Curiously, the Burton Fat Bullet is described as an elongated fish which I doubted for a fair while...but can now see where he is coming from with the idea. McTavish Carver Fish is a versatile shape.

This was a 5'6 Mick Mackie

i thought the fish thing had been back in vogue for a year, hence the firewire go fish?

These guys have their digit on the hipster pulse - check out their comment: https://vouchsurf.com/small-vish/

yeah, they never really went away here.....

and Evan Squirrel from Vouch is an ultimate hipster, who can also take the piss out of it very ironically and quite wonderfully.

gotta go short.

Got some money to spend?.

The new ken doll (seriously, barbie's friend - new edition). No surfboard accessory as yet. Maybe some of you should buy one and sit it on your go-pro mount?

A go pro mount on a single fin midlength oozing ouvre! Have u lost your mind ctd!?!
