Wonder Twin - Customize
The Wonder Twin is a round wing pin version of the Twin 82. A custom performance twin fin groveler designed for surfers who want to push hard through small waves without holding back.
The shape features a flat deck, a beak nose, and a wide point set above center for paddle power and easy wave entry. The wing pin tail tightens up the back end of the board for control and bite, while the bottom contour runs a double barrel concave from tip to tail for speed and drive.
What makes the Wonder Twin different is in the channels. Doc added a channel running inside each fin, about a quarter of the way up from the tail, plus a short slot channel running from behind the fins out through the tail. Designed to give you the hold of a stabilizer center fin without the drag of an actual third fin. The feedback from riders has been overwhelmingly positive: it locks in like a thruster but flies like a twin.
If you're looking for a performance twin or groveler that lets you push through your turns instead of pulling back, the Wonder Twin is it.

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.
