SOMETHING FISHY

4-FIN / SWALLOW TAIL

Like going back in time , while knowing everything you know now. Back in the early 1970s, Steve Lis created a surfboard design, The Fish, that has endured through the decades and is as valid today as it was almost 50 years ago. The Fish design has gone through just about every permutation and probably most shapers. The Something Fishy is a blend of Steve’s old template with Gerry’s take on the rails, bottom shape, and rocker. Gerry Fish, like a Lis Fish, is still fast as heck, but the updates give Gerry’s version a bit more maneuverability and make the board easier to control. A We like how it works and, if you are a Fish lover, we think you might too. We loved the Something Fishey so much we decided to build it in our exclusive Fusion HD construction. This lightweight and responsive built is great for high-performance ripping, downthe-line projections, and other aggressive surfing techniques. Overall we feel The Fusion HD construction enhances the characteristics already found in the Something Fishey.

Surftech’s version of a standard EPS and epoxy surfboard construction. A closed cell EPS core containing a wood stringer is layered with E-glass and biax glass for a light weight performance board with a lively feel. All Fusion HD boards are hand finished.

FULL BIAX DECK PATCH (45° / -45°)

// The Biax fiberglass distributes power + protects from dings

WOOD STRINGER

FUTURES FIN BOXES

// Takes just seconds to insert and remove the fins

Little Darlin

5-FIN OPTION / SWALLOW TAIL

A board so easy to ride it will feel like you are cheating. The Little Darlin evolved out of Gerry Lopez’s prevalent Cheater Model. In the search for more performance, Gerry slimmed down the design. The narrow width makes the board snappy and responsive without losing paddle power. A single to double concave gives the Little Darlin’ speed and hold when the surf gets big. The Little Darlin’ is a sweet, quick, easy-riding board that can take it to powerful waves with confidence. You can trust the Little Darlin will catch any wave while still handling late takeoffs, steep drops, and fast-hollow sections. Surftech’s exclusive Fusion HD technology adds to the board’s response.

Squirty

5-FIN OPTION / ROUND PIN TAIL

Find your balance with the Squirty. By harnessing the Yin and Yang of surfboard design, Gerry has created a board that truly does it all. The Squirty’s extra width and volume near the nose of the board will help surfers catch more waves. While a pulled-in tail and curvacious back half will allow the board to rip hard. A Low entry rocker with a slightly rolled bottom going into a single concave and finishing in a double concave with a user-friendly tail lift, makes the Squirty loose and fast. The Squirty has everything a surfer could want in one board, making it the perfect daily driver.

5-FIN OPTION / SWALLOW TAIL

The Little Darlin / Fusion-Poly grew out of the Gerry’s extremely popular Cheater in the search for more highperformance without losing the paddling power. The Little Darlin’ is a sweet, quick, easy riding board that can take it to the juice with confidence, knowing it will catch most any wave and still handle late take offs, steep drops, and fast, hollow sections. A single to double concave gives the Little Darlin’ speed and holding power when the juice comes down.
