have that board in 2 different sizes. Still a lot of experimentation to do but it shines in good, head high + waves and Lovelace piggyback keels. Was so stocked on the 5'3 I instantly ordered a 5'5 for smaller, weaker waves.

Been eyeing some of Akila's twins for a while now. He looked great on that thing.

Board looks great!

And what a nice guy Akila Aipa is. Would be stoked to get a board from him.

I would have liked to see Salsa use some larger twins . The Aipa's are the SMALLEST futures make.

Plug in theses http://www.thesaltymerchants.com/twin-fins/electric-twins-keel-x7zzy and the fireworks show just got better

Is it a twin if you never surf it w 2 fins?

Seems like Duke is continuing Ben's legacy w the sting. Akila seems to be on his own trip. Looking forward to the bigger roundpin.

Don't know if you guys remember the Volcom movie "Football Shmootball" but there's some clips of Kamalei Alexander RIPPING on an Akila Aipa twin fin at Backdoor back then.
