Oxbow 5ft 10 Fish Surfboard Review

The brilliant Oxbow Fish 5ft 10 surfboard is exactly the same as the original Bic 5ft 10 Fish, It's simply been rebranded with the Oxbow name and (IMO) a nicer set of graphic decals. Same super tough DURA-TECH construction, identical dimensions and specifications as the original Bic 5'10 Fish.

The 5ft 10 Fish is an excellent little pocket rocket and one of THE most popular starter surfboards for kids and even makes a great small wave, low cost board for the more accomplished lightweight surfer looking for some fun. The key to the 5ft 10 Fish's success is it's width and the amount of volume packed into it's relatively short length, making it buoyant and stable and easy for kids to balance and catch waves. The wide nose and tail allows the board to catch waves early for a board of this size. The surfboard comes ready to ride with a set of FCS fins.

The DURA-TEC construction gives great durability, making this board almost indestructible!

There are 3 basic requirements to making learning to surf a pleasure not a hardship!

1) An affordable board
2) A suitable size and shape board
3) A board that is durable and not easily damaged

Why Oxbow?

The Oxbow range of DURA-TEC constructed boards gives the first-timer the following benefits - durability and price combined with a shape that is dedicated to the entry-level surfer. DURA-TEC surfboards are created using a moulded polyethylene shell with polyurethane foam core which is found in a regular fibreglass surfboard. This means that this board will survive dings and damage that would see a fibreglass board out of the water for repairs!

DURA-TEC Technology meets the needs of the first time board buyer, providing unbeatable durability, with a lower than average price. These important aspects meshed together with appropriate shapes make the Oxbow range of DURA-TEC Technology surfboards the favourite choice of first-time board buyers the world over
