Code Best Fish Forever 6'6 EPS

Best Fish Forever: a wide, floaty fish that is easy to like. It catches waves early on small days and picks up speed with very little effort.

A wide outline, plenty of foam under your chest and a fast, low rocker. The swallow tail keeps it loose, so it feels playful but never twitchy. Fun for improvers who want more speed, and for experienced surfers on small days.

This one is the 6'6 at 49.1 litres, in absinthe. As a rough guide it floats a beginner up to about 60 kg, or an intermediate surfer up to about 80 kg.

• Size: 6'6 x 21 3/4" x 3", 49.1 litres
• Build: EPS / epoxy: lighter, a bit more float, and tougher against dings
• Fins: 3 fins, Futures boxes
• Rocker: low
• Tail: swallow
• Level: Beginner and intermediate
• Waves: Knee to chest high

Code's own sizing tip: take your weight in kg and halve it. Add 5 to 10 litres if you are still learning, or take 5 to 10 off if you are an advanced surfer.
