5'11 Fish - SOLD

This board was just sold to Autodesk's new downtown San Francisco design gallery.

This fish was shaped from a single log of hemlock. The tree had grown on the coast of Oregon for over 150 years when it fell across our road in a giant storm last winter. We dried it for almost a year before shaping it. The grain waving across the whole deck of this 100% wood fish is just beautiful.

Tail: 17 1/2"

Garrett Lisi's new fish

We build this board for Garret Lisi for those days when, after a morning of solving the mysteries of the universe, he needs a little extra glide to paddle into the wave and want to play around a little once he is on the face. Not quite a longboard day, but definitely conditions where a little extra glide is nice. With single into double concave, set up with the classic twin keels, and shaped in sitka spruce, this board is designed for a mellow day of flow and drive. And at the end of the wave, Garrett can kick out and get to enjoy the beauty of the sitka spruce's deep and natural grain. Simply beautiful.

Length: 6'10"
Nose: full
Width: 21 1/2"
Tail: wide
Thickness: 2 1/2"
Fins: Twin keels from 101 Fins. Hand-foiled by Marlin Bacon in Bamboo
Bottom: single concave fading into a double concave out the tail
Logo: sustainably harvested abalone in a piercing shade of hyper-intelligent blue
Price: $4500

Have you ever ridden anything where your stoke starts building as soon as you unzip your boardbag?

Here at 42 Surfboards, we are American surfers shaping wood surfboards. That's all we do. We shape boards that are beautiful, unique, and are than something you just surf on. Although we know that you will love surfing it.

42 Surfboards are hand-shaped from blanks that we build ourselves. Our blanks are as organic as they come and at 42, your surfboard blank isn’t going to kill anyone. Our blanks are built from sustainably harvested local wood and are chambered as radically as any in history.

This could be your new magic board. It is fast, loose, and slippery. At the same time, because it is wood instead of foam, it has the drive and carry of a much larger board. It is faster and more stable than anything in its size in foam. With low rocker and full rails, it will get you out the back easier, into waves earlier, and mach'ing down the line towards yet another record length ride. In other words, our goal is for you to make long fast waves.

Like all 42 Surfboards, you will will notice how your Twin Keel builds and holds speed. With the low rocker and single concave bottom, this board will be among the fastest in the water in anything from double ankle to double overhead plus. With the 100% organic core, an illustrious Resin Research crystal clear epoxy finish, and heart-stopping abalone inlays, your Fish is certain to be the most beautiful board on the beach.
