Stuart rummaged through my archived vintage laminates from the mid 90's. Looks so appropiate on this shape. Just like we used to shape them 20 years ago. Modern longboards are making a comeback. Well for some they haven't left. :-)

The New Twin Keel Shape for Justin
The New Twin Keel shape. The main areas of difference from the Retro version are the bottom contours. Traditionally flat to long tapering vee off tail, this version is flat to mild concave for lift and speed in the pocket. The concave will have some pop off the top, no vee means better bite and release from the rail and fins. The nose template is narrowed from the Retro version and the rails are more tapered for sensitivity. All the great aspects of the traditional twin keels with out all the hang ups.

Stuarts trip to the Mentawai's
Stuart sent me these nice images from his trip to the Mentawai a few weeks ago. Great culture and looks like the surf wasn't bad either. :) Stuart on his 7'6" Dyna-Egg quad.
