Similar, MR’s boards didn’t have the standard shortboard template his were wide up frontman’s always swallow tails. Still stoked to see them coming back 🤙🏼
@@matthewwillis4892 yes I know. Sorry I should’ve been more clear, when I was talking about Mark Richards board I was just simply saying his board was pretty much a true fish shape but had the nice standup fins like Kelly has now, And Kelly has more of a true Shortboard shape with the standup fins in a little trailer which works so fun in all kinds of surf. See you in the water brother
@@BobbyJetty1502 True fish shapes? The original fishes were shaped out of a longboard blank, very flat rocker, or broken longboard reshapes, with noses around 17 inches MR noses are around 13inches and contemporary s.b .noses are around 11 inches. Those are the numbers. Like I said these shapes have been around since the early 80s. I was there and shaped the boards.There isn't much new under the sun just old ideas brought to a new generation. Cheers !
I might try it! I really like two fiber glass side fins and then 1 air core thruster. Works amazing! I get it! I see why he likes it! I'll try his set!
Best tube rider I had was a twin designed by Bill Traub (Hawaii now) used to shape for Rick Harbor Surfboards Seal Beach. Bill and I surfed all over, I had like 6 of his boards in the quiver 80s
Geeeeeeet it KS11- KS-11!!!!!!! Thank you for staaayyyinggg relevaaant and not disappearinggg off the map and off the grid... Watching all the OG's RM, TK, MF. JP, BG, NF, SG, BI, SD, and plenty more still out there shreddinggg-rippinggg on various cool rippppaaa sticcckkkkas and having nothing more than pure fun is total legit entertainment, inspiration, and motivation to just stay in the water and have fun being active no matter a person's skill level and to know it's possible no matter what decade of life you're living!!!!! HAPPY SURFING FROM VB/VIRGINIA BEACH KS11-KS-11!!!!! ✌🌴 😎 🌴✌
Glad to see Kelly experimenting with twins. However, here in San Diego especially Ocean Beach/Sunset Cliffs shapers like… George Gull,Joe Ghio(Plus one Surfboards) Larry Mabile(Third Word Exotic) LaJollas Tim Bessel Surfboards Hank Warner(Hot Buttered Surfboards) and of course Steve Lis. These shapers have been making boards like this one Kelly is showing us some since the 1970’s. Not standard Keel fin twins but much more MR wide base taller stiffer fins on short board templates. Just stoked to see a resurgence of these boards.
I'd still rather surf like Kelly than basically any other surfer in the world. I also still think he looks faster that almost any other surfer with a few exceptions, and obviously on a twin + 1 he's even faster.
@@AageV 100%. Ethan Ewing has the talent to be a full-on legend when he's Kelly's age. He just has to keep his head on straight and stay amazing for another 30 years or so, haha.
Gotta love Kelly, let's all make a deliberate effort in order to get to his age with so much enthusiasm and passion for what we do!!👋🏄💪 Thank you for inspiring us so much brotha!!🤝💛
I have a prototype of fins..developed for me, to create a low pressure (turbulence) leaving it looser in the turns and faster in straights these fins made me a lot of good times..too bad i stopped surfing
@@daninaylor5305 Awsome session. Love the set!! I had 2 to and semi glassy at NSB. The interchangeability for different scenarios was perfect and the speed really helps here on the East coast.
@@hawaiiansouthshore You mean it comes with the option of two additional fins, one smaller, one larger,…. and you use whichever of either,… though only one at a time?
This is a variation on the Flat Earth by Akila Aipa that Kelly has been testing. If Akila and Kelly finalize the shape, we'll be get testing it in different material builds - Helium, I-Bolic, Etc..
@@firewiresurfboards what’s the chances of you sending me the variation to test in Australia 🙏❤️ if not put me down for a pre order!! Haha love your work guys much love 🤙
He's 50. Ridiculous.🔥🔥🔥🔥
I know right 😎
This is a retro design from the early 80's. Reducing the thrust/drag fin is great setup, look at what MR has been riding for 20 years.

@@matthewwillis4892 bro you know no shit how do you not know what a true fish actually is😂
Reading Twin+2 gave me the impression that this would be a Twin set with 2 tiny quad rears and now I'm curious what that would be like.
like twinzer?

Mabiles are the best

For waves under head high, ALWAYS use a smaller trailer fin. For FCS use the GX.

Ethan Ewing is very close though!

Kelly’s on gear!
If Kelly isn’t always improving his and our surfing he and we would all be lost
verity is the spice of life
Great Stuff just got this set in the mail. Thanks trying it on my SCI FI 2.0 boards at NSB this weekend!!
How did it go?
@@daninaylor5305 Awsome session. Love the set!! I had 2 to and semi glassy at NSB. The interchangeability for different scenarios was perfect and the speed really helps here on the East coast.
How was twin + 2 on the scifi and what range of conditions will it suit...have a sci fi and was thinking exactly this?
Yes it's a twin +1 I'm aware😊
2+1 goes insane on a sci-fi. I also tried 2+2 trailers with the alpha twin set
50 and feeling it
What board is he riding?
Nice.
I'm confused, do I buy the board or the fins if I want to surf like him?
a pack of lessons
board fins, jeans and hat.
@@krusher74 sick Krusher74.
😂😂😂
Please do the Mashup in Ibolic & potatonator 2.0😀
It's an old concept worth revisiting.
Where can I get these fins???
Let me know if you are still looking for the fin
From New Zealand cool as
Those fins should fix my pooh stance, right .?
That's a Twin + 1, not Twin + 2
It has two small fins thats why they call it Twin + 2
@@hawaiiansouthshore It has one small fin, not two.

What size are you looking for?
@@hawaiiansouthshore 6'8 in New Zealand
@@camkay8855 For us in the US they stopped making the Hydronaut. Im not sure if you can order it. - David

What board is he riding here?
Flat earth
@@davebower2726 Nice. Thank you.
Take my money.
Where's the 'Twin + 2',… I see only twin + 1
Isn't that twin + 1
twinnub
It's packaged as a twin + 2. Each fin set comes with two separate options for the thruster box, a small trailer and a large trailer.
@@firewiresurfboards this shitty video does a terrible job of explaining that.
@@firewiresurfboards Call it a Twin + nubs, not Twin + 2.
Just move the twins back and in a bit and no need for the ridiculous nub fin
u are riding a FLat Earth= ?
