Shawn Stussy Fins
Orange County/Newport Beach, California
Two twins and a trailer, and the trailer is why most people arrive. The Hitch Hiker is a small third fin that sits behind a twin and takes the skate out of it without turning the board into a thruster — the middle setting between a fish that slides and a thruster that does not. The Power Twin is the upright end of the twin pair: rake 60, drive 70, held enough to keep a line through a fast section. The Roots Twin is the other option and we hold no scores for it, so the table below cannot tell you how they differ. This is a narrow line. It knows it.
