UNDER THE HOOD…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The subMOONfish has a more refined rocker and volume distribution than the average Fish. This enables the board to feel more sensitive through its turns, like a standard high performance board. It still has a wide-ish tail so it feels loose and free to bust the fins out if you can, but when on rail it is remarkably positive and drivey. This is what\u2019s under your back foot! Lift, drive and squirt from the concave vee. A wide but super thin MOON tail that bends through the turn. Rocker is 4 1\/2\u201d in the nose and 2\u201d in the tail.Doesn\u2019t sound like much, but it is for a 5\u20197. The extra bottom curve allows for tighter more critical turns than the average hybrid\/fish.<\/p>\n\n\n

SHELDON’S CONCLUSION…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The subMOONfish was one of the more interesting boards I rode in the test. The design melded a number of features from different styles of surfboards. It had a generous helping of volume in the nose and low, soft rails that concluded in a flyer swallow tail. There was also a vee concave through the tail to help with lift and squirt off the bottom. From my first wave it was evident that this board had no issues generating speed. It would take off as soon as I got to my feet and even through dead sections would garner momentum from any little push the wave had. To my surprise, the elements of the board, which to look at seemed incongruous and excessive, functioned together seamlessly. The width of the nose helped with paddling and speed whilst the low rails and the flyer swallow tail gave the board added drive and hold. On top of this the board was zippy off the bottom and released easily in the lip. It was extremely easy to ride as well as super fun. It\u2019s a perfect option for those looking for something fast and enjoyable without fully sacrificing performance.<\/p>\n\n\n
