The Dark Twinn combines Ben’s Wing Twin template, used to make Dane Kealoha’s twins in the late ‘70s and ‘90s, with an updated Swing Twin Squash template for a modern feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shift in wing placements engages the wing-to-fin relationship and accents how the board performs as a twin fin. Featuring, Mid-range rockers, and a lowered rail apex line, the Dark Twinn is a high-performance groveler built for aggressive surfing in soft waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA staged bottom contour with a blended roll from the nose down into a single concave under the forward foot transitions into a double concave that is deepest between the forward fins. The concave then blends with a healthy amount of vee\/double-concave, starting at the wing, and easing through the tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dark Twinn is a lively and responsive board proven from Pismo Beach mush to juicy Hawaiian surf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction - Dual Core\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne board that combines the best of both EPS and PU surfboards.

Ben invented the doubled-edged swallowtail design in 1972 and followed this with the split-tail design in 1974. Moreover, Ben has served as an informal coach and trainer to such top surfers as Michael Ho, Larry Bertleman, Mark Liddell, Sunny Garcia, Brad Gerlach, and Kalani Robb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBen Aipa continued to enter and compete in various surfing contests: He won the Grandmasters division of the 1989 United States Surfing Championship and the Legends division of the 2000 U.S. Championships. Inducted into the Surfing Hall of Fame in 1992, Ben was named one of the Top Ten Shapers of All-Time by Surfing magazine in 2004. Now spearheaded by sons Duke and Akila, Ben's legacy continues with fresh shapes and ideas from the minds of his talented children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"I was never watching what other board builders were doing...I was watching the surfers and the natural world around me.
