The new 30” Flying Fish Thruster D (THD) is the most popular Smoothstar surfskate training model for kids aged 9 – 12 years. It is perfect for young surf groms who want to progress their surfing. Yes, the fish itself is blue on this model.
The 30” Flying Fish is a responsive, sharp turning and slightly cheeky model designed for younger surfers. It is perfect for practicing surf maneuvers such as the bottom turn or a cutback. The wide, slightly concave deck and swallow kicker makes it easy to perform effortless tail slides.
Smoothstar recommends the Flying fish for riders between about 4'9" - 5'2".
Smaller groms should consider the Barracuda, while taller tweens and teens should consider the 31" Johanne Defay, the 31" Toledo #77 (small) or the 31" Connor (small).
