Why Choose Our Retro Fish Surfboards

Retro fish boards are built around a simple idea… easy, blow-your-hair-back speed.

The classic design usually includes a wider template, lower rocker, split swallow tail and twin-fin setup. That gives you plenty of drive down the line, quick acceleration in weaker surf and a skatey release through turns.

They really come alive in smaller waves. Where narrow high-performance boards can feel sticky, a retro fish keeps gliding and carrying speed across soft sections.

But the appeal goes beyond performance. These boards have serious character. They reward smoother surfing, cleaner lines and a less rushed approach. Stylish without trying too hard.

Great for:

  • Intermediate to advanced surfers wanting a fun alternate board

  • Surfers drawn to twin-fin feel and retro style

  • Anyone wanting to enjoy weaker waves more often

We stock quality fish shapes from Channel Islands Surfboards, Firewire Surfboards, Aloha Surfboards and Misfit Shapes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Retro Fish Surfboards

What is a retro fish surfboard?

A retro fish is a wide, twin-fin surfboard inspired by 1970s designs, built for speed, flow and fun in smaller waves.

Are retro fish surfboards good for beginners?

Usually better for progressing surfers with some experience, though confident beginners can ride larger, more forgiving models.

What’s the difference between a retro fish and a modern fish surfboard?

Traditional retro fish shapes are usually wider, flatter and heavily twin-fin focused. Modern fish boards often pull the outline in a little, add more rocker and can include thruster or quad options for a more contemporary feel.

What size retro fish surfboard should I get?

Many surfers ride them shorter than a standard shortboard but with more width and volume. It depends on your weight and experience.

What are the available delivery options?

We offer fast, insured delivery across Australia. Every board is packed securely and arrives ready to surf.
