The Super Fish is a sensation! It is loved by thousands of surfers all around the world. The secret of the Superfish triumph is in its design. The most noticeable is the step deck, this give the board a huge buoyancy advantage but leave the board with high performance rails. Secondly the bottom of the board features low entry rocker that feeds into a full length concave that helps the board get up and plane quickly. This feeds through to a double in the back to help get the most out of turns. The Super Fish will help you make sections that you never have before, it is fast and smooth.

In this year manufacturer upgraded the glass job to make the board lighter and also added the quad option.

The 7S Superfish Surfboard presents an interesting step-deck design. It gives the girth needed to float you into colossal amounts of waves while giving the feel of a thinner railed board, so you can more effectively put the board on edge as you progress in your surfing performance. While it doesn’t quite have the freakish wave magnetism, it does, however, offer more maneuverability. Board is designed with a flat bottom and full-length concave leading to a double-concave near the tail. It requires less speed and power to keep the board level and generates less friction on the water’s surface. Flat bottoms are great for small waves but don’t work well in more hollow waves that require your board have more curve to fit into the more extreme curve of the wave. The board’s concave is where the board’s bottom is curved in to provide a subtle channel for the water to flow, theoretically providing more projection down the wave and out of turns.

Board is very fast and very loose. There is no dispute there at all. It projected strong off the bottom, which is where some fish boards (boards that are wide and thick and generally have a split “swallow” tail) falter. The 7S Superfish performed equally to a traditional surfboard. It turned quickly off the top and transitioned smoothly from top to bottom along the wave face.

The 7S Superfish comes in lengths from 5’ 8” to 6’ 3”, all with a double-bump swallow tail that works in conjunction with the aforementioned bottom design. The swallowtail breaks up the water that has been channeled by the concaved bottom, thus loosening up the boards turning capability.

All this board design explanation really doesn’t matter when you are surfing, the surfboard is a great board for any level rider. It is loose and fast, and its innovative step-deck design gives the feel of a thinner board while still being maneuverable in small, crappy surf.

This model is among the newest movement in surfboard design which uses computers and shaping machines to create carbon copies of original shaper designs. This board in particular is distributed by Global Surf Industries which helps keep it affordable for beginning surfers by serving a world-wide market.

All 7S boards are made of traditional foam and fiberglass construction. They are CNC computer shaped and hand finished.
