Re: Ebay Bargains thread

Cheap enuff and good condition 6’1 round tail channel bottom twin by PCC.

$340. Sorta interested (I’m a Scrooge) but not overly convinced on the product. Something smell off about the design.

Thoughts ??

Just having a coffee and BnE roll and this kid in 2 minds just got so flogged on this half attempted floater.

Looks like he instead should’ve stalled and pulled in? Looks wonky but, hard to tell from still pics

Re: Twin fins as go-to boards

Happy Twin:

Both gh3y names but whatever :lol:

Anyone surfed either of these boards?
The happy twin looks more small-wave focused.
Am preferring the look of the WC

Re: Where did you surf today ?

late arvo go out at north end maroubra. far from ideal conditions, south groundswells suck there. but surfed the pyzel shadow for the first time in months and it felt great, like a fine blade. can't wait to get it into some decent waves again.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

I want to seal it up and surf this week. Just want to see some signs of healing first. Chemist warehouse should sort you out. Plenty of ointments and water proof bandages/bandaids. They work well for protecting open wounds so you can surf without it developing into sea ulcers. I’ve done it a bunch ...

Not exactly the same but check out Gary Mcneil Torus twin, they go pretty sick Hmm. Looks nice. But not so sure about keel fins for beach breaks. 🤔 Dont put keels in it, use uprights... swap them for keels on points if you want... or dont. Aipa uprights go good.

Best twin fin I’d ever owned was shaped by Nigel Beckham. Pretty sure he’s retired from shaping now.

Nigel is still shaping.
Ah that’s good to hear. Wasn’t he sick, cancer or something a while back ?

Best twin fin I’d ever owned was shaped by Nigel Beckham. Pretty sure he’s retired from shaping now. Anyone here used twin fins in bigger conditions, say double overhead or bigger? I’ve owned a few over the years and found them to best suited to smaller softer waves, as they lack the control and sta...

Re: Twin fins as go-to boards

SJS (Scott James) on the tweed coast ex-NZ makes some nice looking twins.

I do wonder though why he tends to use those down rails a lot.

Re: Twin fins as go-to boards

Anyone using a twin fin (incl tail channels) as a go-to shortboard? I like twinnies, but mostly only in smaller softer conditions. Though it’s been a while. Interested to revisit, keen to understand if the tail channels actually do much in terms of extra stability and hold? If not, there’s always th...
