If you decide to buy somewhere else or would like to support the show, please donate at https://www.paypal.me/surfnshow The Lost Puddle Fish board is very fun in 1-3 waves. It's fast, ultra responsive, and it has the traction I like in small waves. When we I started testing this board for this review the waves were really small, (1-2) and I needed motivation to get out there and surf. We had a 3 week dry spell for waves and this little 5'2" Puddle Fish made it fun and manageable. As the waves picked up I continued to ride it in 3-4 surf just to see how it could handle a little size and to my surprise it went good. Most of the time Fish type boards like this for me have a tendency to slide out and be a bit unpredictable in turns. This board has great traction and control because of the tail design along with the release channel. I also enjoyed this board in the Carbon Wrap technology. The EPS foam core has good buoyancy for paddling and is very lively under foot. The flex characteristics in the Carbon Wrap Technology is spot on for small wave boards and I am a huge fan. Get yourself a Puddle Fish for the small meager days to keep you sessions fun. Cheers!!!

I'm on the verge of ordering one of these to prepare for San Diego summer mush fest, but am kinda stuck on dims and liters.
I'm 5'7 and weigh 150, my daily driver is a Sharp Eye Disco 5'7 somewhere between 24-25 liters (second hand custom dims). I would consider myself a solid intermediate surfer, can pocket surf semi-vertically and am in pretty good paddling shape.
I'm sliding between the 5'2 (26.25L) and the 5'3 (27.5L) 'bro' dims. Any reliable feedback from Noel or any other rider out there with some good insight would save me a lot of new board ordering anxiety!
Cheers!
How would you compare the Puddle Jumper with the superbrand the fling?
Thanks a lot!
"Forged in Fir"
I did have a FR a few years ago and it went good though.

How about puddle fish vs go fish
And sci fi vs untiteld please
I also have the 5'2 in PU but I now feel that 5'1 would've been perfect for me since I am much lighter in weight -- I'am also learning my dims so its part of the process - but still loving the board.
PS: Will you update the HS Untitled in bigger surf conditions? Just curious, thanks.
I probably will not have time to update the HS Untitled in bigger waves but there is some great footage on the HS website of their team guys surfing some overhead hollow surf. Cheers
I have not ridden the Psycho Nitro yet sorry.
This board looks very good on top turns, but it looks as if you are having to be pretty tentative off the bottom and at times it seems to be bouncing a lot, I know fish are known to be this way, but I'd be interested to hear more of your input specifically on how this board bottoms turns and how the fin setup effected that!
Thanks for creating such an awesome channel!
I had just bought some quads for it and was starting to really get a feel for the board. Enjoyed it while it lasted.

Well, i like all types of boards (longboards, shortboards, fishes, beaters, stubby's, etc.) and i try to surf as much as possible on any kind of board. Shortboard-wise, they're usually groveler types of boards since the surf here is powerless (I live in The Netherlands). So i i'm always searching for the perfect mix of volume and maneuverability for those sloppy waves. I even had the Lost 'Gullwing" at some point, which was awesome but it got stolen :( As of now i'm really interested in twin-fins because of their speeds and looseness. Had great sessions so far with twinners.
So yeah, tbh i am kinda interested in the Puddle Fish (and all the other boards review you do) but not from a buyer perspective because...you know...they're so expensive :P And i don't wanna suffer from Gear Acquisition Syndrome haha.
Anyway, i'm just always curious how they perform in the water and you always showcase them really well! You got a favorite board btw? I got a Pyzel Nugget which i absolutely adore right now (especially with twinfins).
cheers
