Akila Aipa's Specialty Twin + 1 set, designed to suit his unique board templates. This high area Twin was built to be pushed hard through turns with a centre fin for added control. 

Featuring a new sleek graphic and a modified smaller centre fin, the new DHD template is built for increased speed and fast tail release. Designed with a subtle texture on the top half of the fin to reduce friction, the innovation behind this fin is unmatched.

For all the reasons surfers gravitate to riding a twin; the extra speed, the loose pivot off the top, and the glide down the line... The Britt Merrick Twin delivers all that plus adds a layer of control that makes riding a twin easier. Because what the dedicated twin advocates make look so easy, is sometimes not. This set bridges the gap and allows you to rip without holding back.

Future and FCS II fin boxes are two of the most popular fin systems used in surfboards. While they share some similarities, they have some significant differences that are important to consider. Both Future and FCS II fin boxes are reliable and well-designed systems. The main difference between the two is their design and compatibility with different types of fins. When choosing between the two, consider your fin preferences, budget, and the performance you are looking for.

Rasta steps back into the spotlight to re-release his signature series of fins; a twin + 1, keel, and a quad set . With the amount of torque Rasta puts into his fins we added more carbon to the twins and updated the foils for all the fins in the series. The twin + 1, keel, and quad all feature a vector foil, allowing for more drive and projection through turns.
