Modern Blackfish X1 Epoxy Fish
Product Description
The Modern Blackfish surfboard combines usability and performance in a contemporary fish shape, and our X1 construction offers the strength, flex and performance advantages of epoxy at a very affordable price.
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.
