Modern Blackfish X2 Fish
Product Description
The Modern Blackfish surfboard combines usability and performance in a contemporary fish shape, and our X-2 bamboo construction produces a light, extremely durable surfboard that’s particularly strong on the deck.
OUTLINE: Contemporary fish shape with the wide point shifted forward to assist with paddle efficiency. The tail narrows in the last 24 inches adding control and bite in steeper sections.
CONTOURS: The subtle single-to-double concave bottom feels very reliable and offers quick response in a variety of conditions.
ROCKER: The smooth, well-balanced rocker is designed to get you into waves early, accelerate fast off the bottom, and then maintain speed as you transition from one turn to the next.
FOIL: The Blackfish has plenty of volume under the chest and through the mid zone creating stability and making it very easy to paddle and ride. The domed deck leads out to performance rails that heighten sensitivity when turning.
The Modern Blackfish is very reliable and versatile enough to use everyday or on your next surfing adventure.

Technology
|
X2 Epoxy |
|---|---|
 |
X-2 Epoxy is a multi-layered sandwich construction using epoxy resin, woven fiberglass and sheets of thin wood veneer wrapped around a Nanoweld EPS core. This construction method produces a light, extremely durable surfboard that's particularly strong on the deck. The durability and strength of X-2 Epoxy boards make them ideal for SUP's, surfers who like to travel, and heavy beach break conditions where other boards are prone to breaking. X-2 Epoxy boards feel solid under your feet and can take an absolute beating while maintaining their appearance for many years.
