So You Wanna Ride A Fish?! Episode 2: Why I Like Fishes

July 15, 2024 Dion Mattison

In this video I follow up on the first one and give my personal history and relationship to fish surfboards. Interestingly enough, the first fish I ever rode actually belonged to a kneeboarder! I also mention Andrew Kidman’s seminal film Litmus, which you need to watch if you haven’t already. I think that video ripped the whole aesthetic of surfing at the time a new a$$hole and showed a bunch of us that other standards for “ripping” and excellent surfing were out there. I’m forever grateful to Andrew for making that film and to Derek Hynd and Tom Curren for surfing different boards so damn well. Stay tuned for more in the fish series!
