The general feedback is that most folk prefer surfing the Flat Earth as twins, as echoed by Akila himself. The Flat Earth is a twin that can also be ridden with a trailer, with the centre fin box provided for those that do decide they want to surf with a third fin.
And while Akila’s boards have only really been previously available in a select locations, this collab with Slater Designs/Firewire has allowed his boards to become available for surfers all over the world great news for surfers everywhere. Not a step down, not a board for slop, while the FE will go well in small waves, it’ll really shine in whatever steep and critical sections you want to take it.Īkila Aipa, son of legendary Hawaiian shaper Ben Aipa, has been on the twin fin program long before its most recent reflowering, championing the extra speed and lack of drag provided by twins, before their recent resurgence on the scene. While twin fins are generally regarded as step down boards for smaller, softer days, make no mistake about it, the Flat Earth is built to perform. If you surf waves from 2ft to overhead, if you like going fast and love the ease and flow of a twin feel, you’ll love the Flat Earth. A performance twin fin surfboard designed to surf in conditions an everyday high performance thruster thrives in, Hawaiian shaper Akila Aipa designed this board with performance tune ups from 11 x World Champ Kelly Slater, to develop an electrifyingly fast, ultra responsive surfboard.
