There are also various niche styles, such as the "Egg", a longboard-style short board targeted for people who want to ride a shortboard but need more paddle power. The "Fish", a board which is typically shorter, flatter, and wider than a normal shortboard, often with a split tail (known as a "swallow tail"). The Fish often has two or four fins and is specifically designed for surfing smaller waves. For big waves there is the "Gun", a long, thick board with a pointed nose and tail (known as a pin tail) specifically designed for big waves.
