I second that. The Mako is as close to a surfboard you are going to find in the twintip world!

Re: Twin Tip Surfboard
Slingshot super natural is probably worth a demo if Sam Light is honest in his reviews (and I have no reason to think he isn't). Bit pricey but if it delivers it could be really fun!

1) this post has got to be foilholio.
2) I would be happy to donate a broken Cymatic for the banana board experiment. Got to pick it up in Corpus and post pics of the final result.

Re: Twin Tip Surfboard
I love the idea of the testing my ideas on the Mako. It would be fairly easy to attach fins almost anywhere. If placing a fin between the feet is a good thing, then it should be obvious. If this is a fundamentally flawed notion, that should be obvious too.

Re: Twin Tip Surfboard
The Cabrinha Tronic is my go to TT surfboard if I'm not going to use a SB. It surfs well. Also handles chop, crap, etc. Not the best at jumping but that isn't what it is designed for. Give it a try if you can.

Re: Twin Tip Surfboard
Agreed.
All those rounded end boards are so much more fun on waves. I made a high concave one inspired by watching a vid of someone riding a. Oceanrodeo board and it behaves the same. When I was still new I watched a local cutting up the waves on one and thought he had awesome technique but when I made mine I was able to ride the same as he was after very little practise despite my inexperience. Rounded end boards really are a pleasure to ride in waves but they aren't competitive in big air.

Re: Twin Tip Surfboard
Here's one of my first builds. It actually was a light wind twin-tip, carved good but did not have enough rocker/tip curve for surfing. I put two small surf fins on each end and a fixed fin (2") in the middle between the footstraps between the edge of the board and the center.
