✨ XXL fish for big sessions
The Magic Fish LTD 8'3 Prism Surfboards represents the culmination of the Magic Fish LTD range: an extra-long, voluminous fish designed for long summer sessions and heavier surfers. With over 68 L of volume, a generous outline and sharp rails, it combines stability, power and speed, even in soft waves. Its slender stance and wide tail guarantee a fluid, fine glide, without losing responsiveness.
Like all LTD boards, it benefits from epoxysous vacuum construction, incorporating 3 marine plywood battens. The result: a board that's ultra-strong, lively and light, and built to last. 🏗️
This board is a French product, designed and assembled in the Prism workshops. It is also part of an environmental approach through membership of ECOLOGIC, for responsible management of materials and waste.

🌊 On the water - XXL feel
With such volume, the board offers comfort right from the paddle, enabling you to catch waves early on, even when they lack power. The tight rocker ensures easy take-offs and fast gliding.
The structure is reinforced by battens and stratification, creating a toned board capable of precise response despite its size. The generous fish tail and slim twins make it easy to make slow, or fast, turns with ease.
Despite its stature, the Magic Fish 8'3 remains surprisingly maneuverable, ideal for relaxed carving sessions and for chaining together long, flowing vibes like on a longboard, but with a more nervous, engaged behavior.
