Lost Surfboards Pisces (Custom Order)

PISCES: Latin for “fish”
Born from the element of water,
Oldest of the zodiac signs.

Change is constant,
Evolution is everywhere,
and everything has to evolve.
To remain static is to die,
In life... and in design.

For three years now we have been celebrating a quarter century of #RoundNoseFish'96.
During these years we have built thousands of them.
Many of them were specially ordered, designed and molded, with special dimensions and details.
Considering it's based on a 25-year-old design, it's impossible not to want to adjust, tune and fine-tune the curves.
For friends, team riders and myself, we did just that.
A little here and a little there.
A little more curve and a little less mass.
Round off the rocker, exploit the concavity and refine the rails.
A little shorter,
a little wider,
And so forth...
I'm adding multi-fin setups and a wing to get back in the game.
All the time looking for more speed, more quickness, more precision and more fun.

Over time, an almost completely new species of fish developed.
A new kind of PISCES.

The PISCES: The evolution of the subspecies of performance fish where precision comes first.
An evolving design that focuses on removing the stigma of halted development in the postmodern fish genre.
It takes in everything that came before and builds a bridge to the future.
Tighter turning in the pocket, vertical carving on the flat, fin-free control in the lip and still free skating on the flats.

The “PISCES” represents our vision of the fish as an all-round performance vehicle, effortlessly efficient as an everyday board.
Bad waves, good waves, mid-range surfers, elite pros... and every wave (and everyone) in between.

Developed from the tried and tested #RNF96. Refinements include:

A more tucked nose, with more rocker in the front and flatter between the feet.
A deeper concavity in the middle area and a stronger curve due to the rail line rocker under the back foot.
A soft wing that is matched to the front fins.
Five fin boxes, for multiple options: quad, twin+2, twin+1, straight twin for the cool kids who take it easy, and even a thruster for the diehards.
Additional vee on the swallow tips and a hollowed deckline in the tail that better reflects the bottom curve and allows for improved pocket control.
With these adjustments, we've created a souped-up, stripped-down hot rod that increases the level of precision and maneuverability without compromising speed and stability.
Maybe he's even faster.
