Modern Twin – A Fast, Fun, and Addicting Flare-Based Twin Fin
This all-around modern twin fin draws its foundation from the proven Flare model, reimagined for a looser, more playful twin-fin feel. The outline has been slightly widened throughout to boost speed and planing, while the tail rocker was lowered to enhance down-the-line glide and flow. The rail shape has been firmed up on the bottom for added drive and better edge control.
Fins are set further back toward the tail, keeping the board feeling “positive” underfoot—providing hold and control while maintaining the signature speed and skate of a good twin fin. The result is a board that’s lightning fast, loose when you want it to be, yet reliable enough to lay down solid turns. What started as a custom for a friend quickly evolved into a word-of-mouth favorite, thanks to its irresistible blend of fun and function.
Pros:
Widened outline and lowered tail rocker enhance speed and glide
Firm bottom rail adds drive and control
Rearward fin placement balances speed with hold
Incredibly fun and versatile in a variety of wave types
Addictive, go-to option for everyday surf
Cons:
Not as grippy in steep, critical sections as thrusters or quads
Looser feel may not suit surfers looking for high-performance precision
Summary:
This modern twin is a lively, speed-hungry board built on the Flare's high-performance chassis, with added flow and freedom. Fast, loose, and endlessly fun, it’s ideal for surfers who want the responsiveness of a twin with enough control to push harder. A proven favorite among friends—and their friends—for good reason.
