well i've been looking around and i've seen a lot of three four and even five fins.  i saw this one board, the hobie m-80, got the surfboard of the year award from one magazine and they said it was really versatile and stuff but i wanna know from someone else.

aright well after doing more research than any school paper i've ever done, i think i've decided on the ...Lost Round Nose Fish.  i've searched around on numerous forums, and even got help from some former pros/sponsored riders, and found out that the RNF would be a great choice for me.  it excels in anything from like knee high and the usual summer east coast stuff, to the better head high/1-2 foot overhead fall early winter stuff.  hopefully i'll be able to go to a few shops and check them out, and then maybe be able to pick one up

paddles like a longboard and rides sort of like a shortboard. it's more soul style. they are fast though and some of them do have 4 fins but most are twin fins.

definately a sick kind of board, super easy to paddle, and just a whole lot of fun.

a fish is purely for speed. notice the indents on the bottom of the board on both sides. these are to create a stream for the water to run through propelling you through the water. this is what makes it easy to paddle and stand up because of the wide frame that it usually has.
