Channeled Twinpin

Inspired by this footage, as well as by the unique channeled designs of Dave Parmenter, I blended a few of my personal favorite templates together to create a wide-point forward shape that is intended to surf when the waves are pumping. This board marries the loose and free feeling of twin fins with the drive and hold of a pintail step-up. The channels add bite, control, and thrust that allow this board to be ridden with authority in larger surf, and the thicker foil gives tons of paddle power for chasing down those outside peaks. I prefer an upright style twin fin, such as the TA Twin, for the best balance of drive and maneuverability.
