You can see the channels cut in the tail ribs. The bottom is planked in the usual way but the contoured ribs let you make
perfect channels This is not a simple build and is only recommended for builders who have built at least one other wood
surfboard. If you are interested in building your own Toad give us a call or drop us an email and we'll tell you all about it

This is a high performance fish designed by Brad in conjunction with Justin Grover of Liquid Lifestyles in Australia. Justin loved the
Fast Lucy that he built but wanted more performance. What he and Brad came up with is a lightweight rocket with a channeled
bottom foil. The performance is like a shortboard but you still have the benefits of a fish. Justin writes:
"The board works like a dream. Had a few waves at T Tree Bay today which is probably the best wave I Noosa. Took off and
didn’t really know what to expect, it actually handles much like one of my short boards just a little heavier. As the wave got
going so did the board, got a few big pumps in and the board was flying. Even got a cut back in on my first wave ever ...."
Yeah, we like ours too!
The measurements are Length - 5' 6" Width - 19 1/2" Thickness - 2 1/2"
The board shown was built using mahogany, pine, redwood, and balsa. Total weight 7 lbs. If you are interested in building your
own Fugu give us a call or drop us an email. This build is a little more complicated than a standard flat bottom board and we'll tell
you all about it before you buy.

The Toad, with its multi channel bottom profile, is a challenge to build but worth the effort. The channels hold a line and will let
you crank turns you won't do on any other wood board.
