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.
"THE RASTA TORUS TWIN WAS FIRST DESIGNED IN 2009 BY GARY MCNEILL AND PRO SURFER DAVE RASTOVICH. IT FEATURES A FULL LENGTH ‘TORUS’ CHANNEL SITTING INSIDE A SINGLE CONCAVE WHICH PROVIDES HOLD IN HOLLOW SECTIONS AND HELPS YOU GENERATE SPEED WHEN PUMPING WITH YOUR FRONT FOOT. BECAUSE OF THIS CHANNEL, THE RTT HAS MORE CONTROL THAN YOUR TRADITIONAL TWIN FIN AND DUE TO THE ABSENCE OF DRAG FROM THE CENTRE FIN CAN GENERATE SPEED QUICKER THAN YOUR THRUSTER.
FOR THIS MODEL I RECOMMEND MY UPRIGHT FINS FOR PEAKY BEACHBREAKS. IF YOU’RE SURFING LONGER SLOW POINTS OR YOU’RE A BIGGER SURFER OR CHANGING OVER FROM A THRUSTER I’D SUGGEST YOU GO TO THE KEEL FINS."

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.

These would handle a variety of conditions too.

Would go so much better with a little trailer fin.

Fins look like they’re set back further than an MR twin+1 though

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 stability of a thruster or single.
Sure, Asher pacey, torren martyn, and co all surf them well in sizeable conditions, but even still there’s moments where they appear to be nursing the board.
