5'6" x 19.75" x 2.4" x 28.5L The all new, #California_Pin is a natural extension of the wildly popular #CaliforniaTwin. A design collaboration between the legendary, 4x World Champion surfer/shaper, Mark Richards and @LostSurfboards, Matt “Mayhem” Biolos. The CaliforniaTwin, with its winged swallow tail, wide forward outline, low entry rocker and deep single to double concave bottom, quickly became a favorite for a wide array of skill level surfers. From up n coming Pros, to aging Bros, it’s been a resounding success, around the world. As time goes on, multiple requests for customizing the design for greater performance and confidence in a wider range of waves, started coming from passionate CaTwin converts. The #Ca_Pin is the result of those custom orders and requests. A souped up and slightly sleeked out, all-around performance vehicle, with stock dims designed to be ridden 1-2” longer than the original #Ca_Twin. Not a true step up, but more of a bridge-gap between squatty/speedy fish and a proper performance shortboard, equally at home in punchy, stomach-high shories or running overhead reef passes and point breaks. To do this, we began with the Ca_Twin and… Lengthened 1”, subtlety increased nose rocker and gently pulled in the forward 1/3 of the outline. Added some thickness though the center line, to maintain paddle power , but rolled the deck line, to maintain a modest rail. Pulled in the “hips” of the outline, between the feet, and changed the tail to its name defining, forgiving, rounded pin. These changes make for a fast, forgiving and precise board, with a continuous curve outline that expands on the range of functionality of the original. What we did not change, however, was the iconic MR Twin trailer fin layout, design and positioning, nor the wicked fast and fun, single to double concave bottom curves.
