Mark Richards Fibreglass – Twin +1 Surf Fins

The MR Twin+ 1 set combines the best performance characteristics of a twin fin and a thruster. Pure twin fins are fast, loose, highly manoeuvrable and responsive, and the addition of a small stabiliser fin adds an extra degree of drive and control. The large side fins in this set are big enough to ride in a pure twin-fin configuration and will work on virtually any size or shape of board within an optimal surfing range of 1 to 6ft.

“As pure foiled fibreglass, the construction of my Futures Fin set reflects the traditional flex characteristics of a hand-milled fin, cut from a multi-layered fibreglass fin panel. The 2+1 configuration gives the board a twin-fin performance feel with extra speed and manoeuvrability. The small rear stabiliser fin adds a degree of positive control and predictability. The outline template for the MR Twin Fin set plus rear stabiliser is over 20 years old. I developed it around 2000 in response to a request from Soeda Surfboards Japan to make some twin fins for the team riders. My pure twin templates have a wide base and stand very upright with not much rake. So I decided to design a new twin-fin and small stabiliser template. Feedback from the Soeda team riders was positive; they loved the boards. As soon as I received the feedback, I got excited and shaped a modern twin-fin with the 2+1 set-up myself. 24 years later, I’m still surfing with these fins and I’m absolutely thrilled with them!!!"
