Kelly spent a lot of time focusing on the size of the front two fins to make them versatile in both weak waves and powerful ones - here's what he says: " I subscribe to the smaller the wave the larger the fin theory but I wanted something that would also handle higher speed waves. This template provides me the best of both worlds, being enough in a small, flat wave (especially with the hybrid thruster trailing fin options) and not too much fin at higher speeds.”
Todd is such the quintessential Waterman. He also was an amazing body boarder. I've always felt which is what helped his POV growing up in the barrel and making the most of each opportunity. This was a junky day by standard and created a photo you can dissect so clearly. Only imagine the convos he and Kelly have...🙏 props due!
Absolutely amazing photos! How do you reckon the Twin + 2 would work on the new Sweet Potato Helium? I’m the lucky owner of the new SP (to replace/complement my existing Timbertech Baked Potato as my groveler). Yet to try the board, due out of season here. Currently threw in some AM2 Techflex quads, size L, to start with, simply because they were spares lying around. My new SP is 5’8” (41.4L) as I weigh 92kg (all solid muscle of course haha!). We mostly have fat and weak 2-4ft wind swell.
Yes - one of our favorite fin setups right now for the Sweet Potato is the Twin + 2 using the smaller stabilizer trailer in the thruster box, and Endorfins KS1 quad fins in the quad boxes. It's really fun especially down the line and doing cutbacks. If you want to focus more on turns in the pocket, consider the fronts from the Twin + 2 paired with a KS1 thruster fin in the thruster box.
