Kinky Twin

Twin Fin High Performance

Looking for a surfboard that combines a bit more volume and twin-fin sensations with the performance of a high-performance shortboard? Check the Kinky Twin!

The Kinky Twin is a twin-fin shape with a cheeky little secret – it craves action just like a high-performance shortboard and should be surfed that way too. So, position your back foot right between the fin block and then push, push, bam!

Technically speaking, there’s not much to say about the Kinky Twin… okay, that’s a big lie, but let’s keep it short. Slightly more volume and relatively low rocker make the board paddle-friendly. The double concave and deep Vee are all tuned with the “kink” behind the twin fin block set at 11” off the tail, allowing for zippy bottom turns while keeping the tail out of the way during snaps and lip line maneuvers. Nevertheless, the board provides enough hold and drive to perform well in carves and backhand maneuvers.

We ride the Kinky Twin in good waves with twin fins that have relatively low rake and a wide base. However, they shouldn’t be more keeled than half-keels. In exchange, the waves can be even better, and easy paddling could extend the session by an hour!
