The Special Recipe Fish combines some of our favorite elements of our previous Fish models. A full-ish outline, paired with a more progressive rail and thickness flow—which means it has the planing surface to glide really well, but the contours to be surfed more aggressively.
BEST FOR: The fish enthusiast who wants to explore the wave face entirely and have the drive and inherent speed to do turns up, down, left, and right.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes an Almond fiberglass surfboard different?
Every Almond board begins as a blank and ends as a hand-shaped piece of California craftsmanship. Each curve, foil, and rail line is refined through years of shaping and feedback from real surfers. We build boards that hold up for decades and ride beautifully in everyday conditions.
Where are Almond surfboards made?
Every fiberglass board is shaped and glassed in Santa Ana, California — one at a time — by craftsmen who care deeply about their work. That hands-on approach ensures consistency, longevity, and a personal touch that machines can’t replicate.
What materials do you use?
We use premium polyurethane or EPS blanks paired with high-grade fiberglass cloth and resin. Our team hand-laminates each board, balancing strength with flex. The result is a board that feels alive under your feet, not overly stiff or disposable.
How durable are Almond’s fiberglass boards?
When cared for properly, an Almond board can last decades. We build them to be repaired, not replaced. Like a well-loved tool, each board develops character over time — small dings tell the story of seasons well spent in the water.
Are your fiberglass boards shaped by hand?
Yes. Each board starts with a hand-tuned outline, refined rocker, and carefully sculpted foil. While some rough cutting may be machine-assisted for accuracy, every Almond board is finished, sanded, and signed by hand — the craftsmanship you feel in every turn.
How do fiberglass boards compare to the R-Series?
The R-Series is designed for ultimate durability and ease, while our fiberglass boards prioritize feel, precision, and long-term craftsmanship. Both share the same design DNA — built for everyday surfing, in every season — but they serve different surfers and stages of the journey.
How are Fiberglass boards shipped?
Each fiberglass board is hand-wrapped and boxed for protection, then shipped via trusted freight carriers on Tuesdays and Fridays. Once your board ships, you’ll receive tracking details and a confirmation email. When it arrives, inspect it right away to ensure no damage occurred in transit.
Do you ship Fiberglass boards internationally?
Yes. We can provide a custom international shipping quote for any fiberglass board. Email info@almondsurfboards.com with your location and preferred model, and we’ll help arrange the safest, most cost-effective delivery option.
Exceptional Craftsmanship
Every Almond surfboard begins as an idea shaped by hand — each model thoughtfully designed, tested, and refined in California. Today, we use precision cutting to bring those proven designs to life more efficiently, then finish every board by hand to ensure it feels just right under your feet. Each curve still passes through the craftsman’s hands, balancing modern precision with timeless artistry. It’s how we honor the process while preserving the body — and the legacy — behind every Almond board.
