Here's a cool shot of my friend Erik on his 5'5" Hydroflex keel fish. It's a board designed in Germany that is EPS/Epoxy, stringer-less and has an air valve that lets you control the flex.
I have one now that I have been riding and really like it. It is ridiculously light. I mean you pick this thing up and it almost feels like it isn't there. The rails are really full, which I like, and has tons of float. The one I'm riding is a 5'7". The light weight lets me do foam climbs really easy and these tail slide cut backs that I usually fall on but with it so light I can get it back under my feet.
For a fish it is really more of a performance type of board. It rides like a fish but you get a more lively feel under your feet.
If you want to demo these or fondle them yourself, stop by Nirvana Surf Shop in Cardiff and talk with Erik. www.nirvanasurfboards.blogspot.com
