Shape & Performance
This board features a twin pin outline with a channel bottom, giving it extra drive, hold, and speed down the line. The channels help lock the board in on steeper sections while still allowing for quick direction changes and smooth carves.
Expect excellent paddle power thanks to the midlength outline and foam distribution, making it easier to get into waves early and stay in the pocket. The twin fin setup keeps the board feeling fast, responsive, and playful underfoot.
- Great hybrid feel between a traditional midlength and a twin fin shortboard.
- Channel bottom adds bite, control, and acceleration.
- Pin tail keeps it composed in steeper or more powerful waves.
