You’ve been riding mid lengths for years now. You know how they turn, you know what waves they like being ridden in and you pretty much know everything there is to know about a 7 to 8 foot single fin rolled bottom, foiled rail mid length…

What am I going to do with my (surfing) life now?!

Well here it is. Mid. Length. Vish. Not your run-of-the-mill mid length board, these things can handle some serious juice, while still being amazing in the knee to chest high range that so many people love riding mid length style boards in.

Tubing point and you don’t want to deal with the hassle and nightmare paddle of riding a sub 5’6″ fish? Here’s your answer. Paddle in early and still be able to rip the absolute shit out of the wave with speed, power and flow…

New updated mid 6 foot versions available also. These things really start to take on a whole new dimension when ridden hard from the tail around the 6’6″-6’8″ mark.

Both the factory and TEAM current favourite board…

Comes standard with glass on keels but Futures work equally as good in these.

Lengths from 6’6″ to 8’0″.

VOUCH 6’6” NUEVO

6’6” x 20 1/2 x 2 5/6

Once we realised just how good our new Mid Vish felt, with it’s updated bottom contours, we realised we better apply the same principle to an updated version of our ever popular Evo. A New Evo. A Nuevo.

Our original Evo was a classic amalgamation of everything we’d been doing with our boards since we began. High rails in the nose, through to neutral, then low through the tail. Slight belly in the nose, through to a rolled tee through the tail. But with more neutral and forgiving, fuller rails through the middle. We wanted people to be able to enjoy the feeling we were having with our more intensely rolled bottom boards, but be able to ride the board is less than stellar waves that so often plague our more southern based neighbours. It’s still a relevant design today as many people will attest to, with it’s super appealing outline and foil.

Now of course everything can always be made better, so we set about making a slightly more performance based Evo with side bites (as so many people request). The new bottom contours allow a much more powerful approach from the tail, but the rolled bottom and up turned rails in the nose, still allow for the board to be surfed well forward when the waves cry out for it. A board that will handle ANY type of wave and be able to be surfed by ANY level of surfer. That’s what Paul’s shapes are all about, being easy to ride no matter the skill level.

Think more drawn out, swoopy style turns, but still able to pivot higher up in the wave with the added benefit of a tight fin cluster. The blended double concave that sits in between the 2 x side fins, coupled with the rolled tee that runs throughout the tail, allows the rider to gain lift when over the tail, but still able to push off the rail while the vee is engaged when on rail. Best of both worlds.

The Fish itself needs no introduction, every surfer has either had one, ridden one or has at the very least seen one. The Fish was no doubt the catalyst for the alternate surfboard scene we've seen over the last 15 plus years. In 2004 I was privileged to receive 2 templates from Mr Fish himself Steve Lis, via my shaping buddy at the time Dain Thomas. I have literally just about worn them out! I use the curves on so many different boards from performance short boards , single fins, guns, and of course LisFish. So all credit goes to Steve Lis. Enter 2016 and the Fish is back! (or never left for some folk, yours truly included). Steve’s original lines are the base for our Vinnie but this time round I have pulled the nose in and added a slight side cut to pull the tail in a fraction making backside more manageable. Combining this with a smaller fin template and altered fin position, it gives the Vinnie beautiful release off the top and a feeling of control. With the generous chest volume and forgiving 60/40 forward rail the Vinnie is a super reliable daily Twinny.

Jed's Keel-Fin Fish surfboards move from strictly traditional to progressive.  

The traditional style keel-fin fish effortlessly glides down the line with unparalleled drive and speed.  This is due to it's compact and flat planing hull and two large parallel ply keel fins. This style of board literally tracks and needs to be overpowered into its drive line by the surfer, so it needs to be ridden short.

A modern take on the traditional fish is freerer in the pocket and easier to surf top to bottom. It has an asymmetrical fin foil with more toe and splay.
