SUPERFISH II Traditional Polyester Model

Arguably the best ever Superfish model surfboard ever sold, with a million sales world wide, to date.

The latest Superish is a totally new model, with a new bottom contours that run single from the nose to double to the fins, that provide extra drive, lift, just plain faster than the last model Superfish. To increase lift off the tail the fliers are more defined than before allowing greater release and helping the boards speed.

The great buoyancy is still achieved with the step deck that has always been a feature on this model and again doesn’t hinder the rail performance.

Strength gains in production in the tail are with the extra glass and bead layer around the fins and over the edge.

Fin set up is still the 5 fin system in FCS and5 fins are included. Board pictured is available at Surf-Shop in all sizes and limited numbers in the FFCarbon Rail, and the Epoxy X-2 is available from the 15 Jan.

You are invited in to check them out at Surf Shop Peregian Beach Sunshine Coast.

Best Bloody Fish Ever

LAYNE BEACHLEY…
Layne Beachley …hmmm.
Layne first and foremost is a Sydney girl that cut her teeth on her favourite beach Manly. Layne considered this beach to be her personal paradise.
Layne pushed aside her early days of personal problems, that only made her more determined to one day be the worlds best female surfer, and that didn’t take long in the general scheme of things.
Layne in her middle teens pushed aside the amateur side of surfing contests and contested only the Pro events. At the young age of 20, Layne was on her way, ranking no 6 in the world. Starting on the Pro circuit at this young age has seen Layne Beachley develop into undoubtedly the finest woman competitor of her generation.
Layne had not a great deal to prove, but none the less she took on the ultimate wave of the time, Sunset Beach. Sunset gave her the reward for all the effort and training put in. Beachley took this wave with open arms and enthusiasm that impressed many a man.
Layne Beachley dominated in the ultimate man’s world, …surfing, with huge effect at surfing spots that were once reserved for men.
Trouncing all women opposition, and winning both events on the Hawaiian women’s tour leg in 1996. She still struggled in smaller waves, but overcoming the difficulty in 1998 (by the largest margin in women’s history). She racked up five more titles between 1999 and 2003, And, in 2006, she added a seventh to smash the four-time records held by Lisa Andersen and Frieda Zamba.
In between, Layne continued her attack on the big surf, becoming the first woman to tow into 35-foot surf on Oahu’s Outer Reef, and back in Australia she set the bench mark even higher, with a tow-in at “Ours” with that wave considered to be the largest wave ridden by a female. Penny for her thoughts at the time.
Layne Beachley has left no stone unturned when promoting women’s surfing and being frustrated by lack of support, she created her own label…”Beachley Athletic”, not only but also producing her own World Tour Event, snagging the forward thinking Commonwealth bank as a primary sponsor, to create the “$100,000 Commonwealth Bank Classic”, being the largest prize purse ever on offer, which was held at Dee Why point.
Beachley also started the Aim For The Stars Foundation, to assist women in fulfilling their dreams. More about this in an other article at:- http://www.aimforthestars.com.au
In October2009, Layne surfed her last WCT event capping a 20 year career and reasoned “At the end of the day, I’ve had a fairy tail career, and I guess you can’t have a fairy tale career with a fairy tail end ”…
Layne leaves in her wake, a level of humanity that all young surfers of today, can aspire to.
Yeah Layne!
