The Dark Twinn combines Ben’s Wing Twin template, used to make Dane Kealoha’s twins in the late ‘70s and ‘90s, with an updated Swing Twin Squash template for a modern feel.

The shift in wing placements engages the wing-to-fin relationship and accentuates how the board performs as a twin fin. The Dark Twinn is a high-performance groveler built for aggressive surfing in soft waves, featuring mid-range rockers and a lowered rail apex line.

A staged bottom contour with a blended roll from the nose down into a single concave under the forward foot transitions into a double concave that is deepest between the forward fins. The concave then blends with a healthy amount of vee/double-concave, starting at the wing, and easing through the tail.

The Dark Twinn is a lively and responsive board, from Pismo Beach mush to juicy Hawaiian surf.
