Collection: Big Calyma

Like the Eagle, the roots to this big board design run back to the early ’90s when Skip Frye first got jazzed on tapping into ancient Hawaiian trim. During Skip’s discovery and experimentation period of these big boards he rediscovered some of Bob Simmons design principles and applied them. Its key characteristics are the 10” tail block with a swallow tail outline, as well as the Simmons influenced concave bottom and shallow belly roll entry. My personal journey on the Skip Fish Simmons started in 1999 and I have ridden these boards in all lengths and all fin sets ups from 6’0” to 12” with Quads Tris and Twin fins.  I’m proud to introduce The Calyma Fish!  This model embodies 25 years of surfing and shaping this design with subtle tweaks and refinement over time.  I hope you enjoy.
