Why buy Cobra produced boards when you can get a custom, hand made board that is built in the US..Maui to be exact! Built to last and they sail better than any board out there! And...they do not, I repeat, do not cost any more than the cobra production boards...

Please, for your sake, check out the following link

I sail the 75 XWave in the Gorge..single fin..My one board does it all..5.2 down to 3.2...My San Carlos wave board is the 85 XWave and soon the 85 WavePro. Twins are great for wave faces and bottom turns but singles are still the choice for the Gorge..Anyway, check out The above link..

It turns tighter and faster than any board I have been on. ... It will turn any radius you want but it is soooo fun to push these boards hard in the turns.

The 70 liter did not foot steer as nice as I hoped


Please explain the apparent contradiction.

Very Happy for what its worth.i just bought a quatro 2010 tempo twin 84 ltrs. i,m not in the gorgei,m on the great lakes,lake erie to be exact and got to sail it for the first time this week.i,m 205 lbs. used a 4.2 on it wound up tight.all i can say it was fun in the gale warning we had monday.sailed it in bump and jump water in the harbor just like gorge conditions and i,ve been sailing28 years never had a board that could slash the windswell /chop like this twin can. it came with 16.5cm. levi siver mfc fins worked great.the extra width was great for surfing the swell/jumping.i.m sold glad i got it waited over a year for this model to come out and it quick to plane and what i,ve dreamed of!!! Very Happy

thanks, this helps to confirm that the twinz are not just for big wave/ocean

I saw something else on the MFC Levi fins, and don't see them on MFCc site ? special order, or are they comming just on the Quatros ?

BTW where in Lake Erie ?

Ok my 2 cents. Twins are fun and turny but the single fins still the most versatile combo for all around. If you aren't always sailing in the waves I'd still go for the single fin. If you're sailing an epic wave spot all the time then have at it with a twin fin. You'll have fun with a twin in any conditions but really a good single will prevail in the long run. But fun to change it up every once in a while.

I like your reply, and fundamentally I agree, that single fins are not going to go away to be replaced by the next best//new thing..Naish boards continue entirely single. The RRD Twin Wave I see in a different light from the offereings by Quatro, Mistral and Goya or JP, Starboard after only 1 year of Evil Twin, have gone Quad.
Most twins are about riding and geared towards nice size waves, the RRD is more of a allrounder and geared towards making the most of smaller waves, it has more of a pivotal and redirectable feel. The width of the tail , max and nose , plus planing area are spot on for my requirements.
