HOW FAR CAN YOU PUSH A TWIN FIN l WILLIAM ALIOTTI

- We Love Twin Fins Out Here in the Mentawais.
We've always wondered how far you can push a twin but also with the right surfer, if you could be an advantage with only 2 fins underneath your feet. We brought out William Aliotti for a month and had the 4 shapers we feel are driving Twin Fin performance make him a 2 board quiver specifically made for Mentawai Perfection. The results left us wondering if we've been riding the wrong equipment for years. - All Day Ray

The twinfin conversation is so fun because it challenges the dogma that there’s a “right way” to ride, and not rather preferences for drawing certain lines. I wouldn’t want to tell JJF that he doesn’t need a thruster, or say that Andy Irons was riding the wrong fins. But there’s a lot of groms, and honestly girls, that are being told they HAVE to ride certain equipment to be good at surfing. How liberating to know that the topic has much more nuisance and personal feeling involved!
Yup ! Well said Man👏👍
So true. The dogma (from some) that specific equipment is necessary is very anti-surfing in my opinion. Ride what you want, it's so much more exciting to see various boards in the water.
This was one of the best surf video in a long time. Epic footage and great editing and commentary. Thank you for this!🤙🏽👍🏽
that backside drop was mind blowing
when you're good you're good no matter the board!
Oh my gosh. I didnt expect much and this one blew my mind. This kid can rip. The soundtrack was killer. Absolutely loved it.
So cool! It's really nice to see someone dedicate himself to twinfins as William does. And proving them right in heavy surf. I myself have been riding pretty much exclusively twinfins since 2012, in all sizes of surf. Tasted it and got hooked forever: fish, twinpin, mid twin... That's my quiver now. Tried to surf a couple of times on thrusters and hated it. Good bye and good riddance, three fins! The speed you get from takeoff, the projection you get out of every bottom turn or the speed you get on turns have no match. Hail the Twin!
I‘ve only surfed thrusters so far, and ordered the Pukas Lady Twin (mid-length), I‘m so stoked to take it out on the point-breaks where I live this autumn/winter !!! Who knows what happens to the thrusters :P
@@salty_adventures I know everyone has their preferences and particular likings, but I´m pretty sure you will be amazed on how free and flowy it feels to ride a twin, be it a small fish or a midlength. Enjoy your rides mate!
@@pteronadon thanks, you too ! 🤙
Bro great comment! I’ve been riding twin +1’s for a while and love them. I am contemplating getting a dedicated twin. I’m a little nervous because in the past I’ve felt riding only twin felt too loose but then I’ve never rode a board specifically designed to be ridden as a twin. I’m about to jump two feet in! Looking at the El Tomo twin. Last call as FireWire says it will no longer be in production.
Man I tried my first twin fin in 2021, got super hooked on the glide and speed but i've found out the best thing is 2+1 on a thruster fin placement board. I have tried also 2+2trailers and they go really well. I love twin fins but sometimes when you get too stoked mid turn and push they slide
The coolest edit I've seen in so long. With such insane and refreshing stylish power surfing. so sick!
Edited with slow mo 😂 maverick has and never will work in surfing
This is the sickest twin film I've seen ever
One of the better comparison of surfboards and fin selections with great editing. Job well done boi's!
I can't believe how many good waves you surfed. Epic and all those boards looked great under your feet.
This is modern pro surfing. Thanks for the inspiration, stoke and vibes to the Ho family. Much love from Spokane, Washington ❤
Pyzels Wins 💥💥. Amazing Video 💯Thanks
Right on William A.! This guy is so good he could compete and match the top W.S.L. guys! But obviously more inclined to be a free surfer and put on these great performances for all to enjoy! Thanks for the stoke, from an old long border...Lol!
This was my favorite edit of 2023. Great surfing, music, waves and boards.
DAT Pumping in the barrel tho. Insane! good to see a frenchie Rippin' !!
Great idea, really good surf, super smooth style of riding and tones of information about boards and fins ! I love that, thanks guys for sharing this 👌🏻🤘🏻😎🤙🏻👏🏻
I got my first twin last year at age 63. A Wyve Twin Pin. I got it for small weaker days but turns out it loves steep hollow waves both big and small. Put the Machado Keel fins on it for more drive as the board was already plenty loose. Ended up being my go-to board all winter. Too bad one of these wasn't in this video. Great no foam hollow core 3d printed boards.
What a great great footage, good surfing and, man, this one blew my mind !! Epic places & waves!!!
Great work fellas, thats super sick. So many rad shots, love the variation of drone and water shots mixed in with the commentary and good music. Class work, great watch
Awesome film. So much good information, visual and verbal.
Wow the Christensen conquering the foam balls in the last clip was insane 🤙🏾
I just love my Fishbeard and use it around 90% of the time in almost any kind of waves and conditions, but watching William surfing on these Twins is just magic. The bad side of this video is my level of "kookness" and the excuses I make missing barrels and turns then blaming being on a twin fin, LOL.
Bro your surf is super complete
Love your style
Airs and carves.
Keep it up
impressive stylish surfer. he'd make any board look amazing.
Epic waves, boards, surfing and music!! What a fantastic video!❤🙏
Omg emagine having such an amazing board tester like that. Amazing film.
Dood rips. Great vid. I owned the RNF... one of the funnest boards I have ever owned. All of the boards looked great but the Pyzel took it for me
When I was younger I chopped over half of the middle fin of my board of and sanded it down. This was before removable fins in the 90s. At first it slid to easily but after a few times with it I loved it. Could surf waves well overhead and hollow to smaller waves. I forgot about that board until this reminded me of it. I think I still have it in my garage. Super beat up now though.
Removable fins in the 60’s and well before. But o hear ya, FCS and futures in the 90’s
That last part on the CC round tail was mental
perfect song for the end🤘I can't wait to see them live
as good as any stab production well done guys
Way way back in the dayz I rode the Aipa stinger. 6’0 beveled rails long single fin box ,, it was the first step to loose skate style and good fun! Than I got my hands on a 5’9 TnC Twin fin shaped by Glen Minami , it excelled my small wave surfing in leaps and bounds. 360s whenever you wanted n fast as fk! The ONLY thing is it out ran the tube ! If you rail 2rail surfed it it was magic but ONLY , in the pocket, out on the flats you better cut back or it’s pretty much over
When Simon Anderson first launched the thruster it changed the face of surfing, hence I could do whatever the fk I wanted and Deep tube rides, full control , never looked back , but the TWIN was good fun!!! Thanks for the video bruh! Brings back some insane times 😂
😮woooow best surfer video, thanks😊
beautifully filmed and put together !,Ive been riding twin finsnin Maui right now its fastan fun!,cool to see different shapes and see how theyn work athe "Playground "area .i surfed some of those breaks when i stayed at Kandui resort but "Kandui "didnt break but "Rifles" did so we scored ! Great job with the fim Aloha
Where's Album?
I’ve had two Happy Twins and ordered another.
it’s my favorite model Pyzel. Barrels turns and airs, does it all.
Did you order yours with or without a trailer?
@@stevehills5753 my small one has a trailer and my bigger one don’t. 5’7 and 5’10
My next 5’10 I’ll try it with channels
But really I’d like to it with a trailer too. Need. More. Boards. 🤤
@@greenlion7750 do you like it better with the trailer?
@@erringentthat’s a tough question. I want both. Nothing like a pure twin that works so well
@greenlion7750 Have you ever compared the Happy Twin to a Wilccat?
Killer film. Sick surfing and boards!
WOW twin fins are heaps of FUN
Unless I missed it, I would be interested to know which board he ended up liking the most once the test was over. You know the one board you can't stop thinking about. Beautiful surfing.
In the beginning he suggests the Happy twin being his favorite @3:10? These are all great boards but theres lots not on the list...hundreds of other quality shapers out there- one example being the alpha omega from the Campbell brothers. Also, something to consider is how different some of these are such as the pin tail of the twin pin which actually has a V in the tail on the bottom which kinda acts as a third fin. I dont think there is one single best twin fin. Best to have a quiver of some :)
@@J_Smith7Campbell brothers boards rocks! If you've never surfed an epic bonzer.... youshould
@@scottc3165 Malcom and Duncan have an excellent line up of boards eh. I do actually have the alpha omega, but would very much like to get another one of their boards.
This guy makes surfing these twins look easy…twins are great for the beach breaks..hold fast ride a barrel get smashed
What an awesome video loved it ❤
Exelente Video 🏆🏆🏆🤙🏽🇵🇷
William déchire tout en finesse.
MR and AIPA are kings of twinnies
Such an epic edit 🤙🏽🙌🏽
That backside drop on the CI 🤯
5 months in and im watching it again for the umpteenth time. 😎🤙🏼
Cool video and music!
Just awesome...
Talk about shredding! Did that guy ever fall? Some insane turns, snaps & aerials! So, which was the better board? Aloha
Q show d surf! Chamou geral!!!!
Realizou um sonho d vida, esquerdas perfeitas
I love this guy's surfing but ... there wasn't much backside surfing present - was that b/c this part of the world is mainly lefts?
Epic!
This guy surfs so well...
l love this video!
Epic 👍👍👍
These boards look Siiic
Really good surfing!!
A month straight of surfing perfect waves probably all inclusive… where do I sign up?😅
best ever legend 🙌 ❤️ 💙 only twinfin board yeahhhh 👌 👍
This is an old conversation. If you like the turning ability of the twins fin without it loosing grip try 2 FCS Kelly Slater back fins as the outside fins and the smallest FCS back fin you can get in a thruster configuration ! Your surfing experience will change forever. PROMISE
🤪🤩🤟
great video..... best paddler? faster for you?
Epic 🔥🔥🔥
Grew up on a twin fin
Esse vídeo está incrível! 🤯
Outstanding surfing, footage, and editing... but William Alloleti? Brett Merrick? Jail Gilman? Who wrote this dude's name cards?
sick!
The world knows. You and Shane Horan can keep those boards🎉
Saw cheyne drop In atvthe bay, legit 15 foot on a 5’7” laser zap. He slid straight down and got annihilated
Seriously, he is such a solid surfer he would've ripped even harder with a ghost for example.
All good though, it's the waves that are the real winners!
Thanks.
Not sure surfing looks good in 60fps... but then again, what does. Sick surfing though. Shred lord.
I lovey 5'4 Christenson twinny
@20:28 Try the round nose 96 here
what are the surfers dimensions?
I always have such mixed feelings watching this type of video. On the one hand I appreciate the talent of the people involved and celebrate their creativity and the beauty of the places they are showcasing. On the other hand, I feel discomforted knowing there are so many of our fellow brothers and sisters on this planet who, by virtue of being born in the wrong location, can only dream about living such a privileged and affluent life as they struggle every day just to have enough to eat to stay alive.
So what is your solution?
Bitcoin
@@edawg654 yeah sure, my mates who have a lot of bitcoin and invested ages ago still can't come with me riding powder bc they wait for the bull run bhahahaha. Even the system does not slave you that much.
At least they don't make the world go worse, they don't work in banking or invest in shits destroying the planet. They just surf and film themselves surfing. Maybe tell this to people who actually fuck up the earth and its people :)
@@NgamissCleo I don’t think there is a solution, it’s the way things have always been. It just makes me think about the crazy juxtaposition of life.
rad vid
Just good surfing. Hard to say which one went better. !
Waves are sick! RIP MAKILA
all that speed them waves offer, any board will work great
What's the height and weight of this guy though??
I wonder how keel fins would do!
Id like to see how many surfers admit they cant surf a twin backside very well. Being caught up in "hype" is costing a lot of people money buying a twin then finding out they cant surf it well, but it is entertaining to watch
if you can;t surf a twin, you don't know how to really surf. Thrusters are so forgiving, you can force your way around them. You do that on a twin, you slid.. talking from experience. I thought I knew how to surf until I tried a twin fin.. though once I understood why, my life was changed for ever, limitless fun.
Sick
Gary Mcneil concepts another to consider
Yeah doesn't matter what's under that guys feet he's a top world surfer guy should be qualifying for the tour like the Pyzel
🙌🙌🙌
I grew up on a twin Fish ( circa 1975-) I ripped any wave at any time from Seaside Reef in Solana Beach to The Lighthouse in Ventura. That fish hung on any wall, and would Fly down the line and generate generating massive speed!
I'm sure there's surfers that can push it a lot further than people realise, kelly for one.
Im 511 85kg. My regular surf spot is a slower break. What size twinny would you reccomend?
6’3”
2.69
19.63
Whats the guys weight please?
any winners or top 3?
Epic
Great vid and info. I would clarify that he is a PRO surfer, so those boards are 27/28 litres. Amateurs or even intermediate levels (98% of people), for a twin fin should think 5 litres more than their normal litres. I weight 73kg intermediate level. My short board is 28litres, but my retro fish keel twin is 33 litres. Cheers from Argenitna ;)
Always Rode Twin Fins,,Mark Richard's Wz The Man On Twin Fins I think he Surfed 🏄♂️ Waimea Bay On A Twin Fin Way Back in the Days ..I Had A Glen Minami 5,10 Swallow Tail,,Twin Fin Got Some of My Best Barrels on that Board Twin Fins Are 2 x Faster Than any Thuster u could Ride 💯❗
In 50 years I’ve only had two tri-fin boards
some quality surf.............
Sick, got some balls bro
No wonder he likes the happy twin. It’s basically a high performance shortboard with 2 fins..
That guy could rip on a ironing board natural talent although i did like the channel bottom Merrick
I ride my twinnie at Mavericks every day!
so sick
