Re: Twin fins as go-to boards

Oh I have no doubt of the pedigree. I am just looking for a summer slop killer and it strikes me more as a point break speed machine....

Re: Twin fins as go-to boards

Been eyeing this one off: http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/currumbin/surfing/neal-purchase-jnr-twinny-5-11/1130748779 any one got a feeling on how it woul...
