5'10 Clean Ocean Surfboards King Fish

Shaper Comments:

In 1992, I shaped the first King Fish which became the second model I released. The first surfboard I owned was a twin fin. In 1978 MR’s redesign of the twin fin opened my eyes to how you could push the limits of the twin fin design. After moving from San Diego, CA to Jacksonville Beach, FL, I felt my surfing could benefit from riding a twin fin. After several years of riding only thrusters, I was reluctant to build a full on twin. I wanted to take a 1978 era twin fin and modernize it. I increased the rocker and narrowed and thinned the boards out. Most importantly, I changed the fin placement and added a stabilizer in the center position. Over the years I have moved the wing around a bit. In recent years I decided to leave the wing just behind the fins. This model works well as a twin fin as well as a twin +1.
