Super Twin Q&A

What size Super Twin should I get?

The Super Twin is a small-wave high-performance hybrid, so ride it at your regular shortboard volume or a touch more, a little shorter and wider than your shortboard. Comparing stock dims, it runs about 1" to 2" shorter than a standard performance shortboard of the same volume. For example, if you ride a 5’11 shortboard at about 28.5 L, look at the 5’9 (19 5/8" x 2 3/8", 28.30 L). Stock sizes run from 5’7 (19 3/8" x 2 3/8", 26.50 L) to 6’8 (21" x 2 3/4", 40.20 L). Our shop staff can help you pick a size.

What fins does the Super Twin use?

The Super Twin runs Mark Richards’ 2+1 layout: two twin-fin boxes up front with a small stabiliser box behind (FCS II or Futures, or glassed-on fins by custom order). Mark Richards says the standard fin set-up is twin fin plus stabiliser. The natural choice is MR’s own signature set: on FCS II the MR Twin + 1 (Medium-Large), Mark Richards’ twin + stabiliser template built for drive and speed with a small centre fin that adds control; on Futures, the Mark Richards Twin+1 is the same set. FCS sizes these fins by weight: Small 120–155 lbs, Medium 145–175 lbs, Large 165–200 lbs. Futures sizes its fins as Small 95–135 lbs, Medium 125–175 lbs and Large 165 lbs and up.

What makes the Super Twin MR’s favorite?

Mark Richards calls it the most popular and versatile model in his range, his ultimate small-wave high-performance board and the one he chooses to ride most of the time, because it is fast, loose and really easy to turn. The wider template and low entry rocker give it paddle power and planing speed on fat sections, while the single-to-double concave, medium rails and winged swallow tail give it speed, hold and bite through turns.

What waves is the Super Twin for?

Small to average waves, where its paddle power and planing speed on fat sections pay off, though as a versatile hybrid it handles everyday surf of most kinds.

Who is the Super Twin for?

Intermediate to advanced surfers who want a fast, loose twin-fin feel in a performance shortboard hybrid they can ride every day.

What construction does the Super Twin come in?

We stock the Super Twin in PU (poly), built in the USA by …Lost Surfboards, which produces Mark Richards’ models. Each in-stock board on this page lists its construction and fin boxes (FCS II, Futures or glassed-on fins).

Can I custom order a Super Twin?

Yes. Use the Custom Order Super Twin button on this page, or open the Mark Richards 3D board builder directly, to design one: you choose the dims, fin set-up, colors and art.
