Enjoy the glide of a classic twin with more progressive ability!

The Tur-Fish is a progressive mash-up of my Flying Turtle and Old School twin models. I combined the deep double barrel concave from the V-12 Flying Turtle with the outline and gracious volume of the Old School Twin, making for a much more maneuverable progressive surfing retro twin. The deep double barrel concave allows this wide board to transition from rail to rail quickly, allowing this board to do maneuvers on steeper parts of the face, the area between the concave acts as vee which allows this board to roll over on rail easier while keeping the board fast and free. Many of my team riders and customers have been loving the old school feel with the added turning abilities of the Tur-Fish!

Doc's Board Recommendation*

Twin Fin
Swallow Tail
No Channels

PU Polyester

The standard blank, offering a classic feel and smooth ride. Known for its flex and responsiveness in a variety of wave conditions.
Polyester Blank
Polyester Resin

Poly with Epoxy Resin

Stronger than polyester resin and makes the board more durable.
Polyester Blank
Epoxy Resin

EPS Epoxy

Great strength to weight ratio.
Lighter and stronger than a polyester board in the same dimensions.
Slightly more flotation.

Single Slot Channel

A single slot channel is a singular, short groove starting about 10 inches from the tail and getting deeper as it exits out the end of the board.

Benefits:

Improved Drive: The single slot channel helps direct water flow, providing the board with extra drive and speed, especially in smaller, weaker waves. A great alternative to having a center fin on twin or quad fins.
Control: It offers enhanced control by channeling water more directly under the board, making it easier to maintain a stable line during turns.
Versatility: This channel design is versatile, performing well in various wave conditions, from small beach breaks to bigger surf. Adds a little grip to your rip.

4 Channel

A 4-channel design features four grooves on the bottom of the board. A slightly longer center channel. The outside channels are a little shorter starting from the back quarter of the board, starting shallow and progressively get deeper as it exits the tail.

Benefits:

Speed and Lift: The 4 channels create lift by directing water flow more efficiently, allowing the board to plane better on the water's surface, which results in increased speed.
Enhanced Grip: This design provides additional grip and hold during turns, making it excellent for carving and generating speed through sections of the wave.
Responsiveness: The configuration of the channels offers more responsiveness in turns, allowing for sharper, more precise maneuvers.

Aesthetic Appeal: High-gloss shine enhances visual appeal and makes the board stand out.
Durability: Offers a little bit of strength and durability.

Protects the crucial area of the board under your back foot. It’s worth the price if you are hard on your boards and have a tendency to crush the tail with your back foot.
