The Timmy Patterson Twin was brought back to life from an original glass-on template Timmy created over a decade ago. The idea was to take the surface area of a big keel, with the intention of surfing more progressively with an upright performance feel. The base dims of the fin are very similar to the overall height of the template. This keeps the drive and release of the template very balanced. This will give you fast down the line speed, all while remaining maneuverable and engaged through your turns. Designed to be ridden as a true twin, but works equally as well with a small stabilizing center fin if you have thruster box placement in your performance twin fin.

The MR Twin+ 1 set combines the best performance features of a twin fin and a thruster. Pure twin fins are fast, loose, highly maneuverable, and responsive, and the addition of a small stabilizer fin adds an extra degree of drive and control. The large side fins from this set are big enough to be ridden in a pure twin fin configuration and will work in virtually any size or shape board in an optimum surf size range of 1 to 6 feet.
"Being pure foiled fiberglass, the construction of my Futures Fin set mirrors the traditional flex characteristics of a hand-foiled fin cut from a multi layered fiberglass fin panel. The 2+ 1 configuration gives the board a twin fin performance feel with additional speed and maneuverability. The small real rear stabilizer fin adds a degree of positive control and predictability. The outline temp for the MR Twin Fin set plus rear stabilizer 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 are very upright with not a lot of rake. So, I decided to design a new twin fin and small stabilizer template. Feedback from the Soeda team riders was positive, they loved the boards. The moment I got the feedback I got excited and shaped myself a modern twin fin with the 2+ 1 set-up. 24 years later I'm still surfing with these fins and totally frothing on them!!!"
