i dont know if any one knows about this, but fanatic is releasing their twinie in august to the public, it looks nice. hope i get to see one in the flesh on the water.

one thing in that photo is it seems to me that the fins ay be a little too close to the rails making it a bugga on recovery. but im pretty sure they wouldnt release a board if it had problems like that,

It looks UGLY the deck looks just dead flat, no dome on the deck, nose shape is ug too and colour it's just a weak mushy grey how boring !
Jordo I don't know what you mean by "recovery" of what ?
I went to the link and the team guys boards dont look like their fins are that close to the rails.

looks arnt everything jesus,

recovery, i meen, if you go smack the lip, and land in the white wash, its would be pretty hard for you not to spin out, and be even ahrder for you to recover from the spinout,

it looks like it would be ok if you had the fins way up the front, but if you had them way down back, your going to have issues with spin out,

but looks arnt everything,

as you say the nose shape, well the twinnies use more of the rail closer to the nose to enagage the turn, thats why almost all twin fins will be having that bolder, thicker nose. and because the twin fins also keep the board flatter on the water it makes sence for the nose to have more volume spread to the nose.
