The history of the Twin Fins

These types of boards were created in the 30s – 40s and have always been related to the old school. In the late 1970s, Mark Richards , 4-time world champion, popularized surfing on two fins. Since then, many surfers have joined this fever called ‘TwinFin Addiction’. Such is the case of Rob Machado or Asher Pacey with his Mini Twin from DHD Surfboards .

Benefits of surfing with twin fin surfboards

With this 2 fin setup, you will gain speed, your maneuvers will be tighter, and you will increase stability. The four-time world champion Mark Richards believes that the performance of his Twinfin was directly responsible for his success in competition. In fact, when asked why he liked to surf with two fins, he replied: ‘The extra width of the fin’s base gives me more flotation and the twin fin setup has given me a faster, looser, and more responsive performance, allowing me to really attack the wave.’
