No, not right of way rules again Starboard boards.

In what years was the Evil Twin waveboard made?


Their site only shows 2009, I thought it was 08 and 09..

I have procured a 2010 model, looks like the 2009 but with slightly different graphic and the Starboard site does not show a 2010......so I reckon I have something a bit unusual.

Anyone got a 2010 Evil Twin???

I have a 2009 evil twin. I think they were only released in 2009 and then in 2010 they introduced the quad and dropped the twin.

Ben Severne was ripping in 2010 on an 80 or 82 Evil Twin - whatever it was that year.

be warned though - the rocker was medium slow - it was a super tweaked shape for surfing - and Ben was doing some great turns on it that year

I could actually match him for mobility in the waves that year as i was on a fast rockered Kode that year. Ben weighs 75kegs and seemed to be able to -mostly - sail around the speed / planing limitations of that board

moving forward to more refined rocker lines on the 2012 Quads and Nuevos ( i especially LOOOVE my Nuevo 80 which is virtually a production Nude twin - a shape developed by Ben and James Hooper which he has blitzed heaps of competitions (nats titles / numerous comps and lots of Cash won by Ben!! - and has taken his wavesailing through the roof - and seems to have defined his style over the last few seasons- this is my personal opinion only however)


So in summary -the boards get a lot faster (read get upwind fast, get twice as many waves - get nice height in jumps) and turn even better from 2011 onwards.

Personally - i think you are going to struggle on that evil twin as i have seen you sail a while back and i would say a fast wave freestyle board is probably more suited to helping you get more out of your time on the water.( In the Starboard range thats the Kode - good enough for Philip Koster!)

Or i would advise to only bust out the board when its howling windy and mobility becomes less of an issue...seems like days like that here in WA are becoming rarer and rarer though....

Hope that helps!

i would say that would be a production board

protos dont come out of cobra and dont have serial numbers on them..at least not the ones i have seen!

it was only 1 year - 09 or 10 i think? then it was all about quads!

AJ they are not as quick to plane as my 2006 - 2008 RRD FSW's were, so would be way behind virtually all FSW's in the planing stakes. But way earlier planing than a waveboard and glide thru the lulls and gybe exit is still great.

Mag reviews always show Goya One and Quatro FSW to be loosest and they really are just like a slightly faster rockered waveboard. Mine are both 2009 (got them new last year) and love them. Not familiar with the new ones but always did think as a thruster they'd be awesome.

You really should try One

Wondered where you were Marco
