The Kingfisher emerged from a lifetime of twin fin and swallow tail development and innovation.
It's a fish with a very high Intellect. Steering away from the more conventional wide and flat fish of the past, the kingfisher has a refined blend of modern rails and performance rocker, creating heightened comfort in the pocket.
We're inclined to refer to this model as an Indo fish, with a pulled in nose and tail rocker that allows you to hunt deep barrels and powerful waves to your heart's delight. Our exclusive design provides increased acceleration on take-off, with a harmonious balance between front and back foot, elevating trim speed.
The preconception has always been that the fish design is more responsive on the backhand, but being designed and refined on the numerous breaks of the Bukit, the Kingfisher functions equally as well going left or right, goofy or regular. After 25 years of riding fish shapes, I can say with all confidence that this is the optimal evolution of the fish design. You are welcome to ride with our classic Drifter Even Keel or more upright Retro Twin fin template. I hope you enjoy and thrive on this beautiful board. Blessings from the Drifter family.
