"SWORD FISH"
The Swordfish is a fast, aggressive, and powerful predatory "fish" with a long, pointed nose, sidecut outline, wide fishtail, and intense rocker curve.
SWORD FISH is exactly what the name suggests.
It is an aggressive, incredibly fast pelagic fish with a wide, powerful tail and a long, pointed nose.
The SWORD FISH was designed at the request of Kolohe Andino.
This is a new item that is an evolution of his favorite two-color "RNF-RETRO."
Of all the surfers I've ever seen surfing on any fishboard in the small waves at Trestles,
Kolohe was surfing more on his two-tone neon 5'6" RNF-RETRO.
But he still wasn't satisfied, so he came to me and asked me to create a FISH that would suit his tastes.
Kolohe Andino
"I really like this 5'6" RNF-RETRO. It's one of the best FISH boards I've ever owned, but if it had a longer nose instead of a short one, I'm sure I could ride it well in contests. I want a longer FISH board that I can pull the nose on and that has more length."
I'd like it to be around 5'9". That would make it a more realistic shortboard. Maybe a slightly narrower overall outline, not just a little, but a whole lot narrower. I'd like it to have longer rails, more front-foot control and more drive. And also, more powerful, a little stiffer, more aggressive, and faster. Ridiculously fast. Everything else is fine as is."
I started the design off of Kolohe's magic 5'6" RNF-RETRO. I stretched and pulled the nose, adding 3 inches of length and some nose rocker. I also narrowed the overall outline a bit. I pulled the tail a little, keeping the double-sided "Pelagic" outline. I left the tail rocker the same, and the bottom radius was basically the same, but I gave the tail rocker a bit of a flex.
The dimensions are 5'9" 19.25" 2.38" resulting in a small speedboard.
"I absolutely love it. This is probably the best replacement for any board I've ever ridden.
Okay, let's make it into a model." And so we completed the "SWORD FISH" model.
Kolohe Andino's Swordfish is a fast, aggressive, and powerful predatory board with a long, pointed nose, a pelagic outline, a wide fishtail, and aggressive rocker.
