Short story - this board is GNARLY!

A Surf Training Device

Designed with champion Surfer Cory Lopez to train competition surfers

NOTICE: This board has 30 degrees of board lean on a very short 16 inch wheelbase.  This thing screams TURN!  

***For Serious Surfers***

The Hamboards Twisted Fin has insane turning capabilities. You gotta be prepared to ride this board with your shoulders and hips as if engaging your rail on trim. Surf: Don’t Skate.  Even for highly skilled skaters, helmets and pads are recommended.  You know your skill level and you know your own limits. For a more approachable Twist Fin, try the Hamboards OC Hula Twisted Fin.

We love your style but we also want you to take care of yourself. As the saying goes “Easy does it!” We don’t want you going all out on your first ride. Get to know your board and bond with it before RIPPING it to the MAX.  When you’re ready, practice your blow tails and tail whips all day long, but skate within your limits and wear safety gear to keep you safe.  

HST trucks are not swivel trucks. Unlike many surfskate trucks, our patented HST trucks use stiff springs and wavecams to provide rotation and control. With these boards, most of the pumping action is driven by your back leg/foot, not your front.

The concave and swallow kick-tail allow you to get leverage on the deck for tail washes and 180s.
