Loose. Fast. Timeless.
The Surfboard Trading Co. Finlet Twin Fish EPS surfboard reimagines the legendary Steve Lis twin fish for the modern surfer, blending retro soul with shortboard performance in one do-it-all twin fin surfboard. A slightly narrower outline, pulled-in nose, and pinched tail deliver that loose, skatey feel a classic fish is famous for, while reduced foam in the tail makes fin release through turns effortless and cuts drag in your transitions for a faster, more dynamic ride.
Under your feet, a modern rocker and refined rails give this hard shell EPS surfboard the responsiveness of a progressive shortboard without sacrificing its twin-fish character. The single-to-deep double concave bottom generates speed and control, and fins set slightly further back add power and drive off the bottom turn. The result is a board that rewards both single-fin purists and high-performance surfers chasing style and flow.
Built for everyone from improving beginners to advanced riders, the Finlet Twin Fish EPS surfboard thrives in 2′ to overhead surf, making this retro fish surfboard a genuine year-round, almost any conditions option. Reinforced with a triple stringer for added strength and drive, it's the perfect bridge between timeless design and contemporary performance, and the board you'll reach for most often in your quiver.

Its forgiving twin-fish foam and paddle power make it approachable for improving beginners, while the modern rocker, concave, and rearward fin placement give intermediate and advanced surfers the speed and drive they want. It's a true all-skill-level board.
What wave conditions does the Finlet perform best in?
The Finlet Twin Fish EPS surfboard shines in 2′ to overhead surf, so it handles everything from small, mushy summer days to punchy, clean conditions. That range is exactly what makes it such a reliable, year-round pick for your quiver.
What is a twin fish surfboard, and how does it ride?
A twin fish is a wider-tailed, twin-fin shape rooted in the classic Steve Lis design. It feels loose, fast, and skatey, generating speed easily and pivoting smoothly through turns—the Finlet keeps that signature feel while adding modern responsiveness.
What does EPS construction and a triple stringer add?
EPS cores are lightweight, buoyant, and strong, helping the board paddle and accelerate with ease. The triple stringer adds extra reinforcement and drive, so the board stays stiff, lively, and durable over the long haul.
Which size should I choose?
Choose the size of your board based on your weight, skill level, and the volume you prefer. Lighter or more advanced surfers often size down for a looser feel, while heavier surfers or those wanting more float size up.
