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.

WHAT IS A VECTOR FOIL
It is a proprietary Futures foil with a concave surface on the inside of the front fins, increasing surface area, water attachment, and lift.WHAT IS A 3/2
3/2 complements the Vector with an extra 3 degrees of cant and 2 degrees of toe, introducing a twist to the foil for improved planning angles in sharp turns, creating lift and hold deeper into the maneuver.PERFORMANCE BENEFITS OF THE VECTOR 3/2
The Vector 3/2 is a Speed Generating fin, maximizing water attachment over multiple planing surfaces, resulting in lift and reduced drag. The concave surface and twist in the upper half provide a unique grip and projection sensation, delivering fluid speed generation in smaller waves and powerful connection and increased speed in larger surf, resulting in faster and improved turns.
Helps connect turns while generating and maintaining speed with a more predictable engaged feel.BENEFITS OF THE SCIMITAR TIP
Originally developed in 2006, The Scimitar Tip is flattened edge at the fin's trailing end, tightens the turn arc by reducing the template's length. This complements the 3/2 foil's lift and speed design, enhancing the feeling of release from turns while maximizing the foil properties throughout the fin's template.- Construction - Alpha
