okay chaps, been riding a surfboard strapped and unstrapped this summer and to be quite honest i keep gravitating back to my old lithium twintip.
So the question is from your own riding experience what is the best twintip you have ridden in small to medium surf (won't say large because surfboard is a must here).
yes surfing tt's, do they exist???
I just love my Hammer if its a twinny you want. (hard to find though) ![]()
But Jimmy Lewis really knows how to make a board and, while I'm not a mad fan of mutants myself.
if ur already riding a directional and you want to go back to a TT, I'd seriously consider professional therapy ![]()
OR's Mako Wide 150 x 40 or even the 140 x 40 for smaller guys ... Mako King 165 x 45 mutant ... all go really well in chop as well ...
(do a search on that other forum "mako wide" - heaps of info)
The 130 (Mini), 140 , 150 (& King in T/T mode) all only have 1 centre fin each end
Massive 18mm Concave to smooth out chop and deliver hard carving performance.
2011 Mako 140, 150, and 165 can be set up to ride as a twin tip or mutant (thruster) stance.
All 2011 Makos feature a wood core construction for increased durability, laminate strength and a smoother, more poppy ride.
^^ that is one massive conacave buzz. How does it handle. Sounds like an interesting board to demo.

Ha ha, yeh I a few mates have said the same thing, but less diplomatically, and with much smaller 4 letter words.
Hey Eppo,
A couple of the guys down Avalon are using Airush Hammers and seem pretty stoked with them.
Hard to find a second hand one though
Shinn wave board. Been riding one for about a year now. I won't go back to a conventional TT on flat water and it is loads of fun in the surf if you like powered turns on waves.
problems with the mako:
availability and delay on ordering.
expensive
no demo (where I live anyway)
Also what about the underground freewave??
And the north Freestylefish?
Definately the Mako, so smooth in the chop and goes upwind with ease. Have never seen another in WA so they don't get much exposure here.
The footpads would be the most comfortable I've ridden on.
The Hammer are a good board but a little prone to breaking with the wrong rider.![]()
