Kelly Slater’s twin fin template, packaged with two separate trailer options.
The 11x World Champion on the Twin + 2 fin set: “I started surfing on twin fins and obviously as surfing transitioned in the early 80’s to thrusters, I went along with it. Over the years I have dabbled in twin fins, but only recently have I spent much time really refining board and fin designs for a performance twin. This fin design is what I settled on while wanting tight, in the pocket surfing and not the feeling of having too much fin.”
Single Tab variants are compatible with Futures' fin system.
CONFIGURATIONS EXPLAINED
1. Twin + Stabilizer Trailer
The two twin fins come packaged with two separate trailer options, the larger one is called the 'Stabilizer,' which provides more drive and hold. This is the trailer you might throw in when the waves are cuppier and more hollow.
2. Twin + Guitar Pick Trailer
The smaller, second trailer option is called the 'Guitar Pick.' This option creates a freer experience, with less directional drive and more slide.
3. Pure Twin (no trailer)
Running the two twin fins with no trailer in the thruster box is referred to as a Pure Twin. This is your option for uninhibited lateral freedom, with the least amount of drag.
Each trailer option can also be used together with any other fin set, for example the Stabilizer or Guitar Pick can be used in the thruster box of the KS1 Quad set.
WAVE TYPE
Kelly Slater's twin fin set, designed for a performance twin shape. Though it was designed for tight pocket surfing, this set has incredible range, in large part provided by two trailers that allow for 3 different configurations. It works well in high-performance critical waves, but also is tons of fun when groveling in small waves.
FIN FEATURES
The twin fins take cues from an upright twin performance template, and come packaged with two separate trailer options, resulting in three different riding configurations. Kelly's goal for this template was to provide the best of both worlds - having just enough surface area to work in small, flat waves, but not too much surface area for surfing at higher speeds.
