Surfboard Rentals Retro Twin Fin

The second in our series of Retro Rentals from our Rolling Retro events. Ah the venerable twin fin, many a surf career has been cut short by these high work rate based hot dog machines…

Twin fins changed the game though, the scythe like single fin tear drop shooters were exactly the opposite of the twins rail to rail shimmy. Many a great pro surfer of the late 70’s also fell victim to the twin fins wiggle. Purists stayed true to the sleek lines and stayed carving single fins while a new generation of shredders began experimenting above the lip. 360’s were a thing, the floater reared its foamy head. Still rail to rail, just a whole lot looser the great twin fin riders lacked one thing the great single finner’s will always have, and that is style.
