Kelly Slater's new Performance Twin, designed with Mike Woo, is inspired by the lines and angles of the great white shark. With much more rocker than a conventional twin fin, it is a board for waves of a certain quality and fast, vertical surfing. This is a high performance groveler with the paddle and catching of a hybrid, and the on-rail performance of a shortboard. It fits where most fish don’t - it creates speed in weak waves, controls speed in powerful waves, and excels at tight arcs in punchy pockets and quick wraps on shoulder sections. It's volume is hidden at center with fine rails for immediate response and quick reaction in the pocket. It has the speed of a twin fin with the immediate response of a thruster, and it's elevated tail rocker makes it magic on your backhand. Recommended to surf at your performance volume, or just slightly more.
