Pogie vs Sandia // Win a Fish for Christmas

There are TWO twin fin fish models that we make here at Almond. ( Pogie Fish // Sandia Fish ) We want to know which of the two fish models you prefer; and why.

The winner will receive a Pogie or Sandia Fish for Christmas, from the surfboard making elves at Almond.

We want to hear your most convincing arguments for your favorite of the two models, as well as what you would do with it if you had one. So, write us a paragraph or two on your own facebook wall and tag @Almond Surfboards & Designs, so we can read it and pick our favorite response. The winner is entirely based up to our judgement, so get creative. The recipient of the new fish will be announced the last week before Christmas... but get your submissions in early, before we go cross-eyed.

Art Show | Sandpoint

My Grandma participated in an art show in her hometown of Sandpoint, Idaho.

She got contributions from everyone in the family as a part of her display.

I sent her a hollow wooden sandia fish, something a bit different for a mountain/lake town.

Quiksilver borrowed a Sandia Fish and a Kookumber for a recent Quiksilver Limited Collection shoot with Craig Anderson

5'3 Sandia Fish

We recently tweaked the Sandia Fish template a little bit to make it a little straighter throughout. It's a touch narrower than it was before, and we straightened out the template through the tail, making the tail a touch wider. Overall, I'm really happy with how this one looks.

This 5'3 is for Scotty Stopnik, so it will be up to him to do some R&D on the redesign and give us feedback.
