The Twinner surfboard strikes a refined balance between retro charm and modern-day performance. Drawing inspiration from 1980s design, this board features a fuller nose and forward wide point, delivering excellent paddle power and front-foot stability. Its flat deck maximizes volume underfoot for added buoyancy, while down rails ensure smooth transitions and precise rail-to-rail control at speed.
At the heart of the Twinner’s responsiveness is its single wing swallow tail, paired with a pulled-in tail block that enhances tight turning in steep or critical sections. This tail configuration provides a snappy, energetic feel that’s complemented by a single concave transitioning into a slight vee, allowing the board to maintain flow and drive while offering increased release off the tail.
With a medium entry rocker and subtle tail flip, the Twinner offers both early wave entry and a playful, lively feel through turns. Designed to perform best with larger twin fins and an optional trailer, it also adapts well to a tri-fin setup, providing riders the flexibility to fine-tune their experience to different conditions.
Pros:
Retro outline with modern tweaks delivers speed, flow, and control
Single wing swallow tail offers quick release and enhanced maneuverability
Versatile fin setup (twin + trailer or tri-fin) suits various surf styles
Down rails and flatter deck add volume without sacrificing performance
Smooth blend of stability and agility for varied conditions
Cons:
May lack the vertical precision of a full high-performance shortboard
Fuller outline and flatter deck may feel bulky for those used to lower-volume boards
Summary:
The Twinner is a versatile hybrid that brings together the flair of vintage twin fins and the precision of modern design. It’s an excellent choice for intermediate to advanced surfers looking to add a fast, loose, yet surprisingly controlled board to their quiver. Whether you're styling down the line on a twin setup or dialing in extra grip with a tri-fin, the Twinner keeps the ride smooth, snappy, and fun.
