Anyone get eyes on Kelly's twin from the Pipe Masters today?

[ChaseTMP]

From what I could deduce from the video feed, the black Akila (I'm guessing) Twin fin looked like it had a lot wider nose than what he was riding at Keramas. It looked like he was using a Christenson type template, but they were a reverse colorway than what FCS is offering on their site. Maybe he's riding Futures, but I haven't seen him on anything else other than FCS (except a couple of boards he had with Red-X back in the day).

That first board looks like it's for a hobbit. That thing is tiny.

The black one could be it, but it had white Slater Designs logos and I didn't notice other white logos other than his Outerknowns. Today's board looked longer than the one pictured.

This thread is useless unless GG chimes in on what works, what doesn't works and what he won't do to make it work.

May or may not be the same board but I’m pretty sure it’s one of those and not an aipa twin.

You are correct! Kind of weird since they're (Slater Designs) releasing the Aipa twin(s) next month.

The foil on that thing looked really thin.

Does slater just put his name on other shapers designs he likes?

Did what many twins ridden by great surfers do: lay a great carve, then slide out in the pocket and ruin the wave.

Late 1970's technology being given new life........

A story one of my Aussie friends told me. Bruce Hart. Flashpoint Surfing. Years back during one of the Snapper contests. An off day. Bruce shaped/shapes for Simon Farrer who was a 3 time world kneeboard champion back then.

Bruce was on the beach, Simon was out riding a new board. Kelly came wandering up, sat down and watched Simon for a couple of hours. His wheels were spinning in overdrive even back then....

So short it and thin it looks like a skimboard. Seemed like during the contest he did not have a care in the world and was having fun.

A few months in Indo usually does that.

Well the good news is that when it starts macking at your local, all the Firewire Outer Known bros will be breaking these out as step ups.
