LOST X MARK RICHARDS California Twin 5'6 PU FUTURES

These two legends of the surf-world have joined forces to produce the perfect modern twin + trailer fish with MR's classic lines and a large injection of Mayhem's small wave magic.

The start point was MR's best selling modern shortboard the Super Twin which Matt (with Mark's permission) set about tweaking with some subtle changes to the rocker and outline. The aim was to create a modern single to double concave, small wave weapon with a forgiving and user friendly nature. By far the biggest and most noticeable change was to the entry rocker which was significantly lowered and the nose, tail-block and overall width were widened. These initial changes massively improved the glide, an essential attribute for a board that needs to perform in gutless mush. Matt stuck with MR's proven 'down soft rails' and modern tail rocker so the Cali Fish still turns on a dime and performs in 'pockety' beach-break waves.

The California Twin is a curvy little Fish; flat where it needs to be for paddle speed and glide and totally capable of 'shortboard-esque' snaps in the pocket.

Get the sizing right and you'll fall in love with this little fish in the blink of an eye. If you rip and are in need of a groveller, the Cali Fish ticks all the boxes. If you're looking for a forgiving shortboard as an intermediate or an older rider, or you just don't get in as often as you'd like or get the quality waves some are blessed with...the California Twin has got your name on the stringer!

The Cali Twin comes with a 2 + 1 fin setup which is designed to work either as a pure twinnie or with the addition of a stabilizing trailer. You could try a regular thruster set but the plug cluster looks a little cramped for this to work efficiently.
