Pepe’s Twin
Our version of alternative performance. Fusion between a twin fin and a modern performance shortboard, bringing the best of both. Refined outline with a wing-swallow tail that wants to surf fast and progressive in everyday conditions.
Attributes
This was my fisrt performance twin model, making prototypes for Franco Rivas (@pepes_world) aiming to take his classic style to a board that won’t limit the potential of making progressive manoeuvres and exploring exciting possibilities on a wave.
Performance oriented, but still has that twin fin feel and ease to it. Allows you to connect sections with speed and flow, but it can go vertical if approached correctly. Modern rails and bottom contours, relaxed entry roker to get that front foot drive, and an acceleraterd tail kick that allows you to fit the board tighter in the pocket. The wing swallow tail creates a release point, reducing the width into a narrower tail that allows to surf harder off the back foot. It carries some hidden volume due to a flatter deck, which allows you to have fun on average days too. Optional split channel between the fins that adds some extra bite and confidence when pushing harder.
It can be surfed a bit longer/narrower, making a functional mid-lenght for almost any type of wave or travel board where you need paddle power and control. Optional round tail for bigger days.
