| 233565 | 12089 | Long Fish Thoughts | 22 | mightyrime | Jan 13, 2022 | 2022-01-13T00:10:56-0500 | Since this has turned into a longer fish thread i will give my two cents. I have a custom Terry Senate Quad fish that is 7'2" x 21.75" x 2.75". Its my go to midlength board when Oceanside is what i would call medium. 4' ish waves. I have not experienced the front end skittering with this board. What i like is how easy it is to surf. Does not need quite as steep / powerful of a wave as my 7' egg. Its fast and pretty loose.. but it does feel like too much board. It feels too floaty when i try to dig in the rail as it has that sort of traditional boxy fish rail. So like above poster said i sort of just trim it down the line fast and do gentle turns. It basically does not have the loose skatey turning aspects that what i think a fish should have. seems like 7' is sort of a no mans land. If i did it again and i just wanted trim speed i would probably go like 8' twin a bit narrower with foiled rails. If i was more of a ripper and had the skill set to really throw around those skatey fish turns i would guess like mid 6' range. |
