A Classic Fish Reimagined for Speed, Flow, and High-Performance Turns
The Ca Twin is Timmy Patterson’s progressive take on the traditional California-style twin fin. Rather than sticking to the retro fish playbook, this model introduces modern performance dynamics, making it an ideal choice for surfers who want the smooth feel of a twin, but with added agility and responsiveness.
With its refined California Fish outline, the Ca Twin maintains that familiar, wide template up front for easy paddling and down-the-line speed. But where many classic twins flatten out, this model steps up with a single-to-vee bottom contour, enhancing rail-to-rail fluidity and delivering clean transitions and tight arcs in the pocket.
The flat deck and low rocker help maximize speed and early entry, particularly in smaller or mushier surf. Timmy has also pushed the fin placement slightly further back, allowing the board to hold a line better while still offering the fast release and pivot expected of twin fins. The fuller rails keep it forgiving yet responsive, offering a controlled feel even when putting the board on rail at speed.
Exclusively designed with a swallow tail and twin fin setup, the Ca Twin is built for drawing stylish lines while also pushing through high-performance turns. It’s a board that excels in waist to head-high waves and especially shines in conditions that call for creativity, flow, and speed.
Pros:
Fast, lively feel with modern twin-fin performance
Single to vee bottom offers smooth transitions and added control
Customizable fin templates to dial in your perfect ride
Lower rocker and flat deck maximize speed and paddling power

Cons:

Summary:
The Ca Twin is not just a nod to classic California fish—it’s a serious upgrade. Designed for surfers who want the best of both worlds, it delivers style, speed, and maneuverability without sacrificing performance. Whether you’re carving playful lines or pushing hard off the rail, the Ca Twin invites you to surf fast and loose, all while staying fully in control.
