Technical Description:

This is Mark Richards most popular Retro model and is a faithful recreation of one of Mark Richards favourite twin fins which was a 'magic' contest board, and was 6'2" by 20 ¼" by 2 ¾".

He shaped the original board early in 1980.

• the original outline template with a lot of forward area, making it a dream to paddle;
• the classic wing-swallow tail shape which reduces the tail area to give the board holding power through turns;
• a fluted wing which adds bite and alleviates slide when turning;
• a deep-V bottom which gets the board flowing from rail to rail.

It is fast, loose, and a 'blast from the past'. The feedback on this model is 100% positive with everyone remarking how well it goes today for a 30 year old design.

Set fins are standard, but we offer the custom order option of FCS Fibreglass Twin Fins and the size range is from 5'8" up to 6'8".
