L to R: Twinner, New Sun(2), Flag, Cali Twin, Pool Party 2, DT single fin 😉
Board #1- The Twinner
5’6″ x 19 1/2″ x 2 5/16″, 26.8L with Futures tri fin set up using AM2 large
Words from Chris on the Twinner: “I got this one to get away from a conventional shortboard and surf fast and flowy in small waves. It has a high performance retro feel that holds speed and carves really well. The vee bottom (which I like in my small wave boards) allows it to plane out easily and roll rail to rail which is important to me in small, lined up surf.”

Board #2 and #3- The New Sun (reviewed in previous post)
5’6″x19 1/2″x 2 5/16″ 26.5L with FCS2 tri fin set up using AM2 large
Words from Chris on the New Sun: “My favorite all around shortboard. I can’t get away from it and dont want to! I have traveled with it and surfed it in small waves, good waves, soft waves etc. It is everything I want in a small wave performance board. It’s my go to and what you see me riding day to day around town. The full nose catches waves easily and the pulled tail allows it to hold in a wide range of wave sizes.”
