Lost Description:

The 1978 Retro Twin Fin started the multi-fin revolution and completely changed our perception of high-performance surfing. I won the Stubbies and Bells events on this board which set me on a track to win 4 World Titles.

Features:
•a full pointed nose with maximum thickness carried forward.

•a classic wing swallow tail shape which reduces area to give the board holding power through turns.

•a deep-V bottom which gets the board flowing from rail to rail.
