NSP Elements Fish 7'2" Shortboard Surfboard - White

A fast, stable and surprisingly versatile fish for progressing surfers

The NSP Fish Elements is designed to deliver the speed and fun of a performance fish without sacrificing the stability and paddle power that make it accessible to a much wider range of surfers.

With a wide nose, generous volume and flatter rocker, the Fish Elements paddles exceptionally well and catches waves early. It will out-paddle many conventional shortboards, making it an excellent choice for surfers who want to move towards a more performance-focused shape without jumping straight onto a narrow, demanding shortboard.

The combination of durability and performance makes the Fish Elements a great option for real-world surfing, from smaller summer waves through to punchier conditions up to around 6ft.

With sizes from 6'8" to 7'2" and volumes of 43.7L to 51.3L, there's plenty of stability and flotation for surfers who are still developing their skills, while the shape retains enough performance to remain rewarding as your surfing improves.

Why we like the NSP Fish Elements

The Fish Elements combines a forgiving, high-volume outline with the speed and drive you'd expect from a fish-inspired performance shape.

Its wide nose provides additional volume and buoyancy, helping the board paddle quickly and making wave entry easier. The flatter rocker also contributes to its speed and acceleration, particularly in smaller or weaker waves.

The boxy, full rails add to the board's forgiving character, while the slight hip behind the front fins reduces the area beneath the back foot to create a pivot point for quicker, more responsive turns.

Underneath, the single-to-double concave transitions into V through the tail, helping generate speed and maintain control. The wide swallow tail provides plenty of drive while retaining the ability to turn tightly.

Who is the NSP Fish Elements for?

The Fish Elements is particularly interesting for surfers who are ready to progress towards a more performance-oriented board but don't want to sacrifice stability or paddle power.

It's well suited to:

• Beginner surfers progressing towards more performance
• Intermediate surfers looking for a fast and forgiving everyday board
• Surfers moving down from a larger mid-length or funboard
• Experienced surfers wanting a fun, fast board for everyday conditions
• Surfers looking for a performance shape that still works well in smaller waves

Bob Gnarly Verdict

The NSP Fish Elements sits in a really useful space between a traditional stable funboard and a more demanding performance shortboard. It's fast, forgiving and easy to paddle, but has enough responsiveness and drive to keep things interesting as your surfing develops.

For a surfer in that Beginner Progressing stage, it offers a genuine route towards more performance without asking you to give up all the stability you've become accustomed to.

The Fish Elements is also supplied with a three-fin MFC thruster setup, so it's ready to get in the water straight out of the box.
