CI Fish

CI Fish is a model developed as the next generation of fish board. The retro look gives it acceleration and stability, while the tail is slightly thinner for easier handling. This board can be used in a wide range of waves, from small to head-high, and is recommended for both retro fish lovers and those who want to ride a new type of board. The Al Merrick CI Fish can be ordered in a variety of materials, including Spine-Tek and XTR.

CI Fish is recommended for these people!

The CI Fish is a hybrid type board that can be recommended to a wide range of surfers from beginners to advanced surfers. This board is recommended for those who are looking for a fish that not only has the performance of a retro fish (fast take-off, high speed), but also has the performance of a short board (turns and lip action). The ride of the Fish is very speedy and pleasant. The satisfaction you can get from one wave is high, so I would also recommend it to weekend relaxing surfers.

CI Fish suitable for different wave sizes and conditions

The wave size suitable for CI Fish is knee to head high. The board has a weak rocker, a wide outline, and a wide point near the nose, making it easy to gain propulsion. It can gain speed even on flat sections of the wave, so it's fun even with small, weak waves. And when you come across a wave with a shoulder like a point break, you can fully enjoy the thrill of fishing.

CI Fish Fins

The best match is the "AM Keel fin", which was created by improving the keel fin design found in the Channel Islands archives. However, no matter what twin fin you add, it will be a different ride and it will be fun. If you use an upright fin, the rotation will be further improved. On the other hand, if you use a classic keel fin, the sense of drive will increase. The AM Keel fin is positioned just in between, so I would like you to use it first.

What is the difference between twin fins and tri fins?

In a twin fin setup without a center fin, the axis of rotation is not the center of the board, but closer to the rails on both sides. You turn with the image of using the fins and rails together, but since it is less likely to go straight, many people are surprised at how sensitive it is to turn compared to tri-fins. At first, it gives the impression that it moves a lot, but rather than turning sharply around the tail, it feels more like the tail is sliding left and right. Another attraction of twin fins is that they allow you to make quick rail-to-rail transitions and ride as if licking the face of the wave. Twin fins are less stable than tri-fins, so be careful not to put in too much force.

Comparison of CI Fish and Fishbeard

The CI Fish has a wider outline overall and a more classic fish shape. The ride is a little more relaxed and cruisey, and it is suitable for surfing with a relaxed arc. The Fish Baird is an improved version of the Neckbeard 2 with a twin fin, so the outline is thinner and it has better performance. Even though it is the same twin fin, it is a very different type of board.
