The Futures Christenson Keel Twin Fin Set is built for surfers who want the speed and drive of a traditional keel with a more upright, maneuverable feel. Designed with retro twin-fin surfboards in mind, the Christenson Keel combines a wide base with a relatively upright template to deliver strong down-the-line speed, dependable control, and a versatile feel through turns.
Classic Keel Drive with a More Upright Feel
The Christenson Keel stands apart from more heavily raked keel templates by keeping the fin more upright. That gives the board plenty of drive from the large base while helping it feel more responsive and easier to redirect through turns.
This balance makes the Christenson Keel a strong choice for surfers who want classic twin-fin speed without making the board feel overly stiff or tracky.
