Steve Lis was born in San Diego in 1951. He shaped the 5'4" kneeboard with a split tail with twin fins that was called Fish.
“I liked to ride pintails but my swim-fins hung over the side and created drag. So I designed a split-tailed board with the width to support my fins, but at the same time preserve the characteristics of the pintail”
Steve Lis
Currently Steve Lis still shapes fish boards and lives on Kauai in Hanalei, Hawaii.

Just to clarify- I don't own all those boards. I only dream of them!

Can anyone help me? I was a good friend of Steve Lis and Wil Crane in the 80's. Moved to Australia and lost touch. Does anyone know how I can get in touch with him?
Much Aloha
