The Complete Surfboard Package

The Irish recession bites. That’s why Surf Merchant is going to make it a little easier for you to stay in the water through these tough economic times (and cheer up, the turbulence in the global economy is mirrored by the onslaught of swell activity out there in the N. Atlantic)! We’ve dropped our surfboard package offer by 15%. Now you can buy a retro fish 6’0″ model or a hybrid performance 6’2″ shape, together with a hurricane board bag, a hurricane 6 foot leash and FCS fins for only €425. That’s a super competitive surfboard price, no two ways about it. Now which shape is for you?

The 6’2″ fish will be ideal for the surfer who has the basics nailed, is comfortable getting to their feet on their minimal or blown-out thruster, but doesn’t necessarily get to the water as much as he or she would like. This surfer still fancies a bit of volume in the surfboard to get them into waves early and with confidence, but reckons they have the ability to bring it down a peg or two. That you?
The 6’0″ fish surfboard will paddle with ease, and has all the stability that you are after. The beauty of it is in the surfing though, not just the comfort of knowing that you can get out back and catch waves on a whim. So get to your feet and start carving out some smooth lines with this really zippy, responsive performance board. It makes an average surfer feel like a stand-out.

The 6’0″ retro fish surfboard is one for the purists among you. This surfer has migrated from minimal to shortboard, and has a fair bit of surfing under their belt. He or she can handle themselves in the water, surfing both beach and reef breaks. So they have the ammunition to take on a good meaty days surfing – what about when it drops in size, say 2-3 foot head-high and peeling flawlessly. How often has this surfer cursed not having a board with more volume just so as to catch a heap of waves, cruise down the line, throw some epic arched turns, and get down-right experimental with their surfing? A good few we know!
This fish looks like a sawn-off minimal. It has a rounded nose, is 22 inches from rail to rail and boasts an amazing swallow tail construction. What it offers is this: Buoyancy in the take-off, raw down the line speed, and surprising versatility and manoeuvrability to throw some spray and push out the bottom turns. Add this to your quiver and you might just forget about your first choice surfboard.
