Duo Seed – Experimental Speed with Classic Control
The Duo Seed is a refined evolution of the duo-fin concept, blending retro inspiration with modern surf performance. Influenced by Neal Purchase Jr.’s unique fin setup, it features two small, upright single-fin templates set parallel to the stringer, creating a feel that sits perfectly between a single fin’s drive and a twin’s speed.
This setup offers surprising hold, fast acceleration, and the ability to pivot and carve with precision. Built on the low and fast rocker of the TKF, the board is designed to stay lively and connected down the line. The curvy outline and pulled-in round pin tail enhance control and make it especially well-suited for punchier, more powerful waves.
The Duo Seed is not your average alternative board—it's a clean blend of tradition and progression, built for surfers looking to push boundaries while staying grounded in classic feel.
Pros:
Unique fin setup provides a hybrid ride with speed, hold, and quick release
Low rocker promotes paddle power and effortless glide
Round pin tail and curvy outline offer excellent control and rail engagement
Thrives in fast, lined-up surf with push
Cons:
Fin setup may take adjustment for surfers used to thrusters or quads
Not ideal for weak or mushy waves
Summary:
The Duo Seed is a creative, control-driven speed machine, channeling duo-fin theory into a compact, refined package. With a fast rocker, curvy outline, and progressive fin layout, it offers a fresh and functional ride for surfers who want something different—yet highly capable—when the waves start pumping.
