I’m a south bay porto local and one of my buddies has a 5′4 zippi and it flies. Got me kind of intrigued. How much for a new custom fish or possibly a used one? Keep up the good work.
So just broke my 9′0 Walden Magic which i loved! Been thinkin about getting out one of your Groupers for months and now I’m really thinking about it. I was wondering if you had any demo’s available?
Also wondering what size you thnk i might want to go for. I’m 6′3, 215 and and a intermediate/advanced intermediate surfer. (on my Walden anyways…)
And how much do they go for? is a custom one more?
Thanks
-I have a 6′8″ Zippifish for you to demo. Come on by and give it a try. As for your other questions, please give me a call and I’ll be happy to answer in greater detail. (310)804-9393.
I just bought one of your 5′ 8″ fishes from Icon’s of Surf in San Clemente and it really screams down the line I’m very stoked on the preformance in hollow surf holds tight everytime I will definitly be buying another one of your boards ! (the best stick i’ve bought in the last 20 yrs. )
Got the board on Tuesday and had it out Wednesday morning. All I can say is you did a beautiful job and the board rides great! Had it out in waist high mush, onshore and crappy and made sections I would never had made on my old board. Took a little adjustment but I think I have the hang of it now. I am very happy with every part of the process and will be in touch in the future!
I’m 5′8” weigh 140-145 pounds, and am currently riding a 6′0” 18 1/4 wide and 2 1/4 thick cordell short. What dimensions would you recommend as far as length, thickness, and height? Girlfriends going to get me a zippi for christmas
~Hello Brent,
Figure going 4″ to 6″ shorter than your tri.
I suggest getting one of our standard models.
Please give me a call and we can talk about it.

Wanted to let you know I picked up my custom 5″ 7″ Zippi from Ken and Ben down at Icons, the green one. I debated on waiting for the original brown one, but decided that I could not wait 2 more weeks to get on a Zippi. I have been riding it non-stop down here in South County and S.D. It works great in small knee high slop and chest high beachies and points. Can’t wait to test in this week in some decent head high surf.
Can you recommend a repair place/person??… AQUATECH put my fins in on the wrong cant… I have to have the repair done over. I cant deal with those dudes anymore.

Loving the fish you made for me. You were probably right about going shorter, but I couldn’t be happier. Thanks for great board and great service.

Zippi,
Have you come up with quad design in the last year that is to your liking…or is the twin still the clear winner for your designs?
