Valaric Libra Twin Fiberglass
Jordan Brazie's Libra twin, Futures compatible solid fiberglass in ivory or ivory with kelly green.
The Fin
Jordan Brazie's Libra twin, Futures compatible solid fiberglass in ivory or ivory with kelly green.
Brazie builds Valaric Surfboards, and the Libra is his twin template — 5.33" base, 5.5" depth, so unusually the fin is slightly deeper than its base is wide.
How that reads
Depth greater than base tips the balance toward hold and pivot rather than pure drive. Against a drive-biased twin like the Diamond Twin, the Libra turns shorter and holds higher on the face.
Who it suits
Twins and fishes ridden in steeper, better-shaped surf where holding position matters more than generating speed.

What people say
A versatile twin that delivers the best of both worlds - drive, speed, and responsiveness.
This twin generates power: it drives off the bottom and holds through turns more like a keel, but the pivot point keeps it from feeling locked into long arcs. Put it on a fish or twin-box board you want to surf with authority in waist-to-overhead surf rather than just skate around — for a more classic upright power twin go TA Twin, and for the loosest pocket feel, Tappy Twin.
The Libra Twin is a hybrid twin template designed by Jordan Brazie of Valaric Surfboards and foiled by True Ames, made in solid fiberglass with Futures-compatible bases. The template is fuller than an upright twin but without a keel's long drawn-out rake, with a wide base and a moderate profile. Brazie designed it for his own fish and twin models such as the Oscillator and Star Cruiser.
