Al Merrick Twin Pin

CI TWIN PIN

This sexy, versatile twin-fi nned pintail is a collaboration between Britt Merrick and one of the world’s most stylish surfers, Mikey February. The two wanted to create a board that had all the fun twin feels but enough hold and projection to free you from ever wishing for a third fi n or trailer. Designed as an all-rounder, it helps you rip in anything from lame little waves to double overhead rifl ing walls.

From the nose and toward the back, the bottom is fl at, then to a slight roll, and vee in the back half, which creates a buttery board that is both responsive and solid. The rails are low, so most people ride the Twin Pin at least 1/8” thicker than their shortboard. It works best with the special twin fi n template Britt designed just for this board that is between a keel and upright and provides the right balance of drive, hold, and maneuverability.

What size do we recommend for CHANNEL ISLANDS TWIN PIN?

The Twin Pin can be ridden in various dimensional approaches depending on what you want to do, ride and feel. Mikey February surfs a 6'0" short board and likes his Twin Pins in 5'9" and 5'11" to suit any conditions in the world. Tanner Gudauskas likes the same length as his normal short board for Trestles, and Britt likes to ride his Twin Pins at Rincon a couple of inches longer than his normal short boards.

Most people ride the Twin Pin at least ⅛" thicker than their short board since the rails are low.

Which fins do we recommend for the Al Merrick Twin Pin?

Britt designed a set of twin fin twin fins with hand foils to fit between a keel and an upright keel to work best with this CI Twin Pin, providing the right balance of drive, grip and manoeuvrability, and fluidity.these are the Britt Merrick Twin fins.
