Decibel – A High-Performance Evolution of the Quantum Fish
The Decibel elevates the popular Quantum Fish design with refinements aimed at pushing the fish shape into more progressive performance territory. It features a more sculpted nose foil with added rocker on the tip, improving wave entry and control in steeper sections. The standout feature is its double bump diamond swallow tail, which significantly enhances looseness and responsiveness off the tail, enabling sharper, more progressive turns in tight wave pockets.
Bottom contours include a smoothly blended single concave through the center, transitioning into a double concave between the fins, finished with a subtle vee off the tail to promote lift and clean release. These enhancements combine to deliver a lively, agile ride that maintains the classic fish speed and flow while adding a modern edge.
Pros:
Refined nose rocker improves control and wave entry
Double bump diamond swallow tail increases looseness and maneuverability
Advanced bottom contours boost lift, drive, and smooth rail transitions
Ideal for surfers looking to push fish designs into more progressive surfing
Cons:
Tail looseness may require a confident rider to fully harness
Less volume compared to traditional fish, potentially less forgiving in smaller waves
Summary:
The Decibel is a refined, high-performance iteration of the Quantum Fish that combines modern contouring and a progressive tail shape to deliver an agile, responsive, and fast fish experience. Perfect for surfers wanting the speed and glide of a fish with the capability to execute sharp, progressive maneuvers in tighter wave sections.
