Must be those racing stripes, Sean

I'd be curious to find out why the 2 fins? They're quite big too, so would've thought they'd add unnecessary drag.

from what I read Nigel, he is waiting for his 24 twin weedies, apparently he sails in shallow weedy water.

You run 2 smaller fins than one bigger fin.

I have had a lot of Twin fin Hifly boards and still have one. Twin fin is so much more comfortable to sail with than a single fin they don't spin out and if they do they self correct. Currently running my with 2 x Gun Sails Weed control 29. They work really well with delta fins (eliminate all the issue you have with a single delta)

I think there would be real potential for a twin fin speed board in shallow weedy spots....you can run smaller fins and have no spin out.

F2 currently do a range of their Vegas boards as a twin fin.

Didn't someone do this with a formula board. They did it to run in shallower water but could still have the fin area.

After seeing kiters doing multi fins on their race boards, and how quad waveboards go upwind so well I have wondered about multiple fins on freeride / race boards.

Immediately the lack of length is a massive advantage.

Any downsides (bar weight) ????

how bout a tri-fin formula ??
