Surf Pie PU - 5'6 Blue Second Rate 12851
Program
The Pie is a super fast board, with magical rail to rail capacity and a mind blowing trajectory hold.
Presentation
This deep fishtail adds special character to this generous shape. Very fast thanks to the finesse of the tips, buoyant thanks to its width, but also very maneuverable when coupled with the important V. A true rocket.
The outline is traditional, pure and unexaggerated. The generous volume carries just enough weight not to become cumbersome when maneuvering.
It takes off super-early, glides purely, and speeds up instantly. It's an explosive cocktail, but one that doesn't require an insane level of skill to exploit properly.
And then comes the speed. One of the most important qualities of this board is its incredible rail to rail capacity. With the deep fish tail that liberates the excess pressure and guides the board you have at your disposal a lift that favors tight turns. The Twin Fin mounting procures an efficient hold that does not interfere with maneuverability so you can go from rail to rail at full speed without hesitation!
This super-fast board is magic!

Buying guide
For whom?
An intermediate level surfer will quickly find its bearings by choosing the size adapted to its level. Under the feet of a good surfer, a fish will perform very quickly as it has everything going for it, glide, speed and maneuverability.
And after a first session, the reactions are very often the same, because this type of glide is generally a real revelation!
For what?
For the aesthetics of the shape, to have a retro style, or to have in your hands a piece of the surfing heritage, the reasons are numerous. But a fish generally complements a quiver to exploit the full potential of average sessions, eliminating a large part of the frustrations that a high performance shortboard can cause.
This shape, which has evolved a lot since its creation, now adapts to the vast majority of everyday waves. Often caricatured and intended for surfing small summer conditions, we quickly realize that the potential of a fish is much more extensive than we think.
What size board?
- The small sizes from 5’6 to 5’11 should be reserved for experienced to pro surfers. It turns on the spot like a skateboard and offers instant speed.
- The intermediate sizes from 6’3 to 6’11 are ideal for all surfers who want a board that is cool to paddle, easy to drop, and as fast as possible.
What are the ideal waves?
- Size: From almost nothing to a man’s size, but a good surfer will be able to take it well beyond that.
- Power: Its playground is soft waves, but its natural speed allows it to play in hollow waves.
- Shape: It can handle it all, but prefers smooth waves.
Which set of fins?
We keep the traditional Keel fins to preserve what works on this shape. This pair of fins reduces drag to deliver maximum speed and that feeling of freedom underfoot. Their long base adds width to the turns while ensuring control and stability.
You can take advantage of the vast catalog of Futures fins by exploring the wide variety of templates offered. Large keel fins provide plenty of support and speed in soft conditions. By reducing the height and surface area, you’ll increase speed, but at the cost of drive. Opting for smaller fins will reduce drag and increase speed, while larger fins will enhance control. Shortening the base length improves maneuverability. The possibilities are endless; it’s up to you to refine your feel and choose your style! Switching fins allows you to expand the versatility of this shape.
Which shape?
Pie or Impératrice?
For the same volume, the Pie will have more length, it will be more slender. This will have a positive impact on paddling speed, but especially on the size of the waves you can surf with it. The Pie will have a higher top end, so you can surf a bit more wave size with the Pie. It is also more comfortable in hollow conditions with an early drop. The Pie is very round and easy to drive. The lines of its tail and its nose are more pinched for easy handling. TheImperatrice will show more character in the low end, in small and sloppy waves, by having more drive, and by being even easier for generating speed. The Imperatrice will be the board for a good surfer who seeks uncompromising excellence in a retro fish shape.
Pie or Fork?
The Fork will be closer to riding a classic shortboard, but with a huge speed boost and incredible pop. It’s not retro fish ?

Comment bien coller vos pads ?
La question du pad se résume souvent à un choix esthétique pour looker sa board. Mais ce qui semble être un artifice pour les non pros est en réalité une aide précieuse.
Si le surf est « l’art du placement », il faut alors bien placer ses pieds sur la planche. Et quoi de mieux qu’un repère sensitif pour dire : « ok, je suis au sweet spot pour ce turn. »
Coller des bons pads est donc indispensable. Ils diront à vos pieds s’ils sont bien placés ou non.
Encore faut-il bien les coller, et là on voit de tout.
