Lagoona Twin-Fin

Nice M.R. Influence. I like the shape.

Have you considered shaping it with a 5 fin set up??


Would this board be able to make the drop at the Belmar?

 

Do you like to play baseball as well shape surfborts ?? I see you store your baseball bat right by your garage door...

 

Bad ass twin fin. The glass ons look killer. Tell us about the fins.

 

Another beauty bsnyder. Love your designs

 

Are you related to Dee Snyder?

nice shape. not my style, but still looks purdy

 

looks nice.

good work.

 

Board looks sick, for the right customer. I can't ride twin fins tho. I am not a fan.

 

The left fin sits a little more forward than the right, was this done on purpose?

 

Nice board.
Why would you want to "lighten up" fins?? I fail to see any performance advantage to that. In fact, the amount of weight dispensed would be less that if I went and took a pee before going out?? Imagine if I took a poop!!
But you have made a nice board. Keep it up; just design and make boards; that will be one less out in the water....

 

Prob just the camera angle. Barry's a pro...

Barry... What kind of bottom contours? Looks like a single concave... The original MR twins were flat to vee. At least mine was.

 

That is a sweet twinnie, looks like the one that Rick Kane rode at Pipe. So we know it works in the gnar because he got in Nia Peeples pants which is the true goal, correct? Did you go beak nose or a modern flip-r-roo tip? We have an old MR from around 1977 made at the G&S factory that has those channels at the wing that the fin sits in. Never got to ride it because the old star systems fins (they were the molded thermo-plastic & not fiberglass) fell apart and it was relegated to wall hanger status. MR style twinnies rock.

 

Flat to slight concave.

 

Great pics, Barry... shows off the shape nicely. I'm still riding a keel finned fish on most days here in NJ, but with a few modern tweaks. I still go for the beaked nose and glassed on wood fins, and the traditional fish template, but single to double concave, slightly domed deck and slightly "modernized" rails (although still a down rail). I've also added a slight vee in the nose and a touch of flip in the first 4 inches or so. Works better than the truly traditional Lis version in most conditions we get here, but still feels like a real fish.

Your twin fins... and even the original MR version... are/were NOT fish. A lot of people don't make the distinction. I see them as the next step in evolution for shortboards... toward the thruster. Sort of a missing link, at least in my quiver. I don't ride them, but it's nice to see they're being built, and I'm sure they rip.
