About this board

The Superfish 5 (SF5) is the pinnacle of the design of this model that was originally released 20 years ago.  While still targeted at surfers looking for a high-volume modern fish shape, we believe this is our best Superfish yet, offering the perfect balance of stability and turning response.

OUTLINE: Wider nose, fuller outline up front, and parallel rails create a large stable platform through the middle to generate speed. We’ve eliminated the flyer, making a smoother curve in the back half of the board. The tail outline tapers, so you can make tighter-radius turns when you position your back foot right on the tail. The swallow tail also adds bite, especially in smoother conditions.

DESIGN: The original step deck design has continued in the 5th generation. This feature increases volume through the spine and out towards the rails, creates a flatter deck, while allowing for a lower, more sensitive feeling rail. Single-to-double concave delivers a consistent, predictable feel without restricting speed or the ability to transition quickly from rail to rail between turns.

ROCKER: The 3-stage rocker is well balanced, with just enough flip in the entry to prevent nose-diving in steeper waves. The flatter mid section maintains forward drive and flow. A moderate curve out the tail creates the opportunity to really jam a nice turn when pushing harder off your back foot.

FOIL: We’ve added volume to this model under the chest, extending toward the nose and tail. This provides amazing paddle power so you can get into waves early.

PERFORMANCE: Renowned for its wave-catching prowess, this model really does appeal to a wide demographic. It’s the perfect board if you’ve just started turning and you want to progress to the next level of performance. Or maybe you’re getting a little older, you’re struggling on a smaller board, and you want to keep turning. From knee-high to well overhead, the SF5 will keep you coming back for more.

The 7S Super Fish 5 does not come with fins. See the spec table below for the suggested template.
