About
The Tur-Fish is Surf Prescriptions's progressive retro twin fin fish. A custom mash-up of two of Doc's most popular shapes: the Old School Twin and the V-12 Flying Turtle . The result is a board that combines the unmistakable glide of a classic twin fin with the maneuverability of a modern progressive shape.
Doc built the Tur-Fish by combining the deep double barrel concave from the V-12 Flying Turtle with the outline and generous volume of the Old School Twin. Those two design elements work together to do something most retro twins can't, keep the easy glide and full-bodied paddle of a classic fish while letting you turn the board hard on the steepest part of the wave.
The deep double barrel concave allows this wide board to transition rail-to-rail with surprising quickness, which is what unlocks the progressive turning ability. The area between the concave channels acts as subtle vee, helping the board roll over on rail more easily and stay fast and free under your feet. Doc's team riders and customers have been raving about it. The old-school feel they love, with turning abilities they didn't know they could get from a board this wide.
If you've ridden the Old School Twin and want more performance, or you've ridden the Flying Turtle and want more glide, the Tur-Fish is the bridge between them.
