Tech specs
PROGRESSIVE SINGLE CONCAVE WITH PULLED-IN FLEXIBLE TIPS
Pulled-in tips combine with a progressive single concave with flatter mid-section for faster early planing, and slicing splash-free through chop.
BALANCED ROCKER, OUTLINE AND FLEX
For smooth, controlled upwind tracking. The Prime's rounded outline is easy to edge, helping you stay in control and progress faster; while it's forgiving flex means softer landings and gives you confidence for jumps and boosts.
DURABLE ABS RAIL WITH SMOOTHED EDGE
Long-lasting performance rails with user-friendly smoothed edges help protect your skin from accidental scrapes and bruises.
COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION
The combination of a Paulownia wood core with engineered E-glass laminate layups on the top and bottom drives riding performance to the next level.
DYNAMIC FLEX
The flex characteristic of every TwinTip Board is determined by multiple features built into each specific design. Core thickness variations and taper, as well as detailing, longitudinally and laterally, play the most significant role in controlling the overall flex and feel. Board specific laminate layups then allow us to further fine tune the flex and board characteristics. We adjust the stiffness lengthwise and torsionally in conjunction with the rocker line, plan shape view and profile of the board, to give each board its specific performance characteristics.
LIGHTWEIGHT, IMPACT RESISTANT ECO CORE
Paulownia is a highly renewable hardwood species, with one of the highest strength to weight ratios. Ultra-lightweight, with a high shear force and high impact resistance, Paulownia wood forms a non-toxic core which significantly displaces the amount of foam or resin used in manufacturing, thereby reducing carbon emissions. Each board has a customised core thickness individually fine-tuned to ensure its characteristics are consistent throughout the range, no matter your size or weight.
STAINLESS M6 STANDARDISED HARDWARE
Standardised SS316 M6x16mm hardware across all twin tip boards and accessories enables the use of the same PH3 screwdriver for assembly and makes replacement of parts super easy.
ERGONOMIC HANDLE
Lightweight and ergonomic TPE material with ultimate grip when wet.
40MM FINS (SIZE 144 AND UNDER) OR 50MM FINS (SIZE 148 +) INCLUDED
Strong, abrasion resistant composite fins with dogbone washers and M6x16mm standardised screws.
RECOMMENDED WITH FLEX BINDINGS
Soft cushioning with just the right amount of grip underfoot. Pure-comfort seamless KnitFlex inners and triple-density GripFlex footbeds are combined with customised size and stance adjustments for a locked-in feel and dependable support. Sold separately in sizes S/M or M/L.
BALANCED ROCKER, OUTLINE AND FLEX
For smooth, controlled upwind tracking. The Prime's rounded outline is easy to edge, helping you stay in control and progress faster; while it's forgiving flex means softer landings and gives you confidence for jumps and boosts.
