Twin Fin

Name: Twin Fin
Brand: Channel Islands

Owners Rating:

The CI Twin Fin combines a retro 70s feel with modern performance. Inspired by Al Merrick’s late-70s twin fin and updated by Britt Merrick, it features a refined low rocker for enhanced drive and carving ability. The Twin Fin excels in a variety of conditions, from weak beach breaks to quality waves like Rincon. With tapered rails and a thin feel, it offers added sensitivity and responsiveness, offsetting the typical high-volume retro design. Ride it 2-4 inches shorter, 1/2 to 1 inch wider, and 1/8 to 1/4 inch thicker than your standard shortboard.
