Stu Kenson "TJ Twinzer" 7'0" - Helium

7'0" x 21 5/8" x 2 7/8" - 48.4Ltrs

Designed by long term collaborator Stu Kenson this board has all the traits of a great mid length with the added bonus of the twinzer fin set up.

The Taylor Jensen (TJ) Twinzer model has a great wave range from thigh to overhead and is at home in everything from slack beach breaks to lined up powerful set ups. Its such a usable board for anyone from low level intermediate to seasoned ripper. If you're looking to progress your surfing this board is a great option for a high wave count and working on your turns, you can surf it from the middle of the board for a forgiving ride and its nice and stable. If you want it as a performance option then it fully delivers, drive it hard off the tail and you get precision surfing.

The volume is really well hidden through the core of the board, its nicely foiled and the rocker line is spot on. The board delivers plenty of hold in bigger waves but is agile enough to stay fun in smaller waves, its a great all rounder. The rail set up is medium to low giving bite when surfed hard. The wide point is just ahead of the mid point of the board so you have the volume where you need it and you won't find yourself having to be heavy on your front foot to get the board going. Medium rocker at the tail and nose is well balanced to give a good combo of stability and release.

So, the Twinzer set up, what's that all about? There are a few notable twinzer mid lengths out there and what we've learnt is that this set up gives incredible grip and hold through your turns without killing the speed. You can push really hard and there is no slippage even in critical waves. This 'grip' is especially helpful on your backhand where a lot of people struggle, its allows you to lean in hard without slipping out. Needless to say the twinzer set up also generates speed with ease.
