Twin Tip River Surfer

[Badfish]

We started doing spins and switch tricks last summer on river waves which got us thinking about a Twin Tip board. Here is the first prototype...







Little too much ice to surf in the river right now, but when we get a little warm up I can't wait to play with it...

Man, I don't see that working.  BUT if it does... that's pretty darn innovative.  Good luck.

Man, I don't see that working.

Yeah not sure...not afraid to try though! There is too much ice in the eddies right now at our wave, but I paddled it in a pool the other night and with extra nose rocker and the nose fins set forward it felt no different paddling then our normal River Surfer. We'll see...we'll post some video when we can...

Ship one to the "Iowa Lab" and I'll let ya know.

we could name it the "cornsickle"...

Looks like a cool design.  Has more of the look of a wakeboard.  I am interested to see how it will perform.  Should allow you to ride switch and still get some grab which will make riding the waves even more fun.

Yeah I think it will work. We were surfing a lot like this last summer

and that was with not very much rocker.

You know you inspired that twin tip in those couple of sessions we had with you last June, Dan...

Twin tips are awesome... I was working on this for river waves a few years ago... straps and all ;-)

[Badfish]

Corran, that's cool. How did those "fins" on the nose work? That's an interesting concept...

Well.. didn't get in the way when surfing normally, and had just enough hold when fakie
