Old School Twin
The Old School Twin is a retro classic twin fin fish. Unchanged for decades and currently more popular than it's ever been. "Same as it ever was."
Doc has been shaping this model forever and hasn't changed a thing about it, because there's nothing to change. The Old School Twin features a full standard fish outline, a wide and deep swallow tail, fins set back for that classic drive-and-glide feel, and a basic bottom contour with a touch of vee running out through the tail to aid in turning. Designed to be ridden with wide-base keel fins, the way classic twin fins were meant to feel.
The Old School Twin is perfect for waking you up from your same-old thruster routine. It changes your approach, your wave positioning, and your flow, making you surf differently and reminding you why you started surfing in the first place. This is your "Once in a lifetime" twin fin.
Pair it with the Triple T Keel Twins — Doc's signature wide-base keel fins designed exactly for this kind of board.

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.
