Superfast twin tip?
I love my CF Raptor Pro, it's a fast TT, but I want to go a lot faster on a TT. Any suggestions?

Re: Superfast twin tip?
Anything narrow and stiff will get you pretty fast.
Like 30-35cm wide, slight continuous rocker, a little more rocker at tips, only heelside fins....
Underground used to make a speed TT, they’re gone but you might find one or copy one...

Re: Superfast twin tip?
I love fast Ttips and as in the Post above (for flat water only) the underground speed board from around 10 years ago, is a Ttip, and is excitingly very fast and great fun, but no good in normal sea chop even wind chop,
for that I found the original Nobile fifty/50 surprisingly super fast and importantly mega stable over the choppy stuff allowing you to really push on, even getting seriously airborne at speed is great fun as it grips so well on re-entry the tiny 35mm g10 fins give it enough grip without spoiling the fun.
sadly I sold my underground board, but have held on two x2 fifty/50 boards as they are so good.
the original edition are the ones that work for speed, the later editions are not as good, should find them very cheap now and the great thing is they are virtually indestructible with their skate park base and G10 fins.
if you find a underground then you will find it quite limiting as it is a board that only excels in flat water and any chop results in high speed over the front wipeouts,
its also fantastic for boosting which is a bonus, but it is a real Ttip and is way better fun than a dedicated speed board of which I owned 3 of back then. finding a board that grips in the rough stuff is a challenge, many stiffer Ttips I found very scary at speed as they would skit around so much as I gained speed and try to bounce out of control.

Re: Superfast twin tip?
For standard twin tips I find my Shinn Monk 134cm to be one of the faster ones out there. I am also reading a few reviews which say the Lieuwe Shot Gun if a very fast board.

Re: Superfast twin tip?
what you need boy is a narrow board (narrowness for reduced drag and edge control) with length for stability - a concave for control.. then super flat water where you can head more downwind when you think you are maxing it and go even faster - and it stays flat-not easy... you can go black and blue believe me.. quad front rolls on the water in 4 microseconds - no problem! its fun tho
