The SKIPJACK

The Skipjack, is a Semi-Retro fish that can be ridden in all type of waves. This retro fish was popular on the mid 80’s down in South America originally riden as a twin fin.  From the years 1996-1998 this style of board was brought back in the market with multiple fin set ups. The Skipjack gives you a performance shortboard feel with a fish like shape. This board can be ridden in various type of fin setups, Twin fin, Tri-fin and Quad-fin. This board boasts a beautiful outline contour and has caught the eyes of all types of riders.  The bottom has a slight Vee from the nose into the middle of the board. Then increasing a lot into the tail area.  In some cases we also add double concave in the front fin area to give riders more manueverability and more performance. The Skipjack is a good beginner board when designed in largerr volumes.  It's also an excellent board for experienced surfers that choose to decrease size and volume up to about 8 inches.
