Hi I'm pretty keen to do a demo on a fish. These boards are short and wide for early planning, and suppose to be ok up to 4 ft waves. Should i go epoxy or glass? thick or thin rails? (The light epoxy boards are appealing.)

just mullet over and pick an old battered orange roughy to try out. Then when you are bream full of confidence take on the wave of your choice, don't go too wide as they get to skate and will destroy your sole surf. Don't stay out too long in the hot sun as you will probably flake from heat exhaustion. Epoxy is good if they had a good fillet from the shaper originally but they tend to be a little like a fishing float if you try to drive under white water.

It takes a little while to tune a performance out of a fish but you could join a school and do it with the rest.

Listen too, use a good leggy as if you wipe this is the easiest way to avoid getting a flathead.

If you like your fish after this go custom and support your local shaper and get it taylor made, cost you a few chips but it will the sauce of many a good session!
