GT TWIN split personalities

Image
 the GT TWIN has design aspects that go way back to the seventies, I was building stinger twin fins for most of the seventies and into the early eighties before thruster madness, then you could not give a twinny away... not so now... they have returned and making their mark in the small wave field... although I think the quads are a better option with being able to perform in a wider range of waves the twin fin is being tried in a lot of different design concepts now and looks to be here to stay  bottom shape is fast...single concave with chine through the tail  the stinger plan shape lets me determine exactly where hard resin edge rail stops and goes to soft rail, because the hard edge is way up the board (20 or so inches) the bottom is releasing water quickly generating max speed, but not up so far as to catch in the turn  if you want to play with fins the options are plenty the GT TWIN... who would not want one in their quiver??

5'11" MK

 The magic kangaroo...a new model that looks destined to stay, it's bits and pieces of a lot of different designs of mine and is a pretty neat package  single concave with chine rail through the tail proven time and time  the MK can be ridden thruster or quad... I prefer to build them with commitment to either fin modes... not a fan off the five plug options.... why confuse yourself

OLD CLASSIC

 this old pintail of mine turned 43 this year so I thought I would restore her back to the original single fin box... I don't know what I was thinking when I tore it out and converted her to thruster, it was 1980 though.
