Celebrating over 25 years of evolution from the iconic Round Nose Fish ’96, the Pisces represents a refined and modernized take on the classic performance fish design. With thousands crafted over the years and countless custom tweaks, this board has matured into a distinct new species of fish surfboard, blending heritage with contemporary performance needs.
The Pisces is designed for precision and versatility. It maintains the ease and glide typical of fish shapes but significantly enhances control, quickness, and maneuverability. Key refinements include a more pulled-in nose with increased rocker for better entry, a deeper concave through the midsection, and a dynamic rail-line rocker under the rear foot that boosts turning power and pocket control.
The deck and tail areas have been sculpted to better mirror the bottom contours, incorporating a mellow wing aligned to complement the front fins and multiple fin box configurations—offering quad, twin+2, twin+1, straight twin, and even thruster setups. This adaptability allows the Pisces to cater to a wide range of styles and conditions, from loose, skatey turns on small waves to powerful carving in the pocket.
The Pisces is built as a high-performance fish capable of tighter turns, sharper carves, and effortless speed, positioning itself as an all-around board for surfers from mid-level riders to elite pros across various wave types.
Pros:
* Versatile fin setup options to match rider preference and wave conditions.
* Improved rocker and concave design for enhanced control and speed.
* Agile and precise, ideal for tight pocket surfing and fast, powerful maneuvers.
* Maintains the effortless glide and paddle ease of classic fish shapes.
* Suitable for a broad range of surfer skill levels and wave types.
Cons:
* May require some getting used to for surfers accustomed to traditional, wider fish shapes.
* The refined, performance-oriented rocker might feel less forgiving in extremely small, mushy surf.
* Some riders may prefer a simpler fin setup over the board’s many options.
Summary:
The Pisces successfully bridges the gap between classic fish boards and modern high-performance designs. It delivers a sleek, fast, and maneuverable ride that elevates the performance fish genre to new levels. Whether in small, weak waves or more critical pocket sections, the Pisces offers surfers a dynamic and adaptable tool built for precision and fun.
