Retro
surfboards come in a variety of shapes mainly with a Single
Fin or Twin Fin set up.
The traditional single fin outline comes with an area pin tail
or a single Flyer (wing) area pintail, with full boxy rails running
into a beak nose.
The tail is foiled from the thickest section just in front of
centre providing good flotation and making it easier to catch
waves. The bottom shape has a very
small vee running throughout, with a slight increase through
the fins.
The Specs for the Single Fin
Length: 5’ 9'' to 7’ 6''
Width: 19'' to 21''
Thickness: 2 ¾'' to 3''
The
Twin Fin has the same boxy rails & beak nose as the
single fin. The bottom shape while similar to the single fin
has an increased vee through the fins as these boards are slightly
wider. The twin fin model is available as a Swallow Tail, Flyer
Swallow Tail (Single wing) or Double Flyer Swallow Tail (Double
Wing)
The Specs for the Twin Fin
Length: 5’ 3'' to 6’6''
Width: 19½” to 21½''
Thickness: 2¾'' to 3''
With these boards you can really get into that 70’s feel
with resin tints & washes, sprays & resin pin lines to
give your board that special look that will turn heads as you
walk to your favourite surf break.
