Click to expand... Yep,but there may be more. Skip is now about a year into the 21st century resurgence of the DH fish. We chatted about it, and I pointed out this line in the movie. Skip looked like I caught him off guard or maybe out of context. He seems totally into the DH fish, and was stoked about how it is a cool variation on the design. Maybe there's more to the interview? Maybe his views have changed? Side note: about a year ago, my wife had Skip surprise me with a board. Knowing that fish are my favorite boards, she asked Skip to make any fish he wanted for me. He made a DH long fish, which he explained is #3 in what seems to be the return of the DH fish. A few more were made and then the cat was out of the bag!
