Fanatic ProWave LTD Stand Up Paddle Board

The Hipster Twin is just a case of history repeating itself. It’s almost impossible not to notice the performance that’s evolved from twin fins in the surfing world, with many of the biggest brands having one in their range and all carrying the heritage of the original Mark Richard design.

It's how it all started for us, a set of Mark Richard twins with a little nubster fin laying around and thinking how perfect a twinny would be for a SUP, helping loosen things up a bit.

With its fuller nose and moderately compact shape, the Hipster Twin allows you to go shorter with added stability and glide. It doesn't feel awkward to paddle over large distances.

Mark Richards was onto something combining the hip in the outline with the 2+1 fin set up as it allows you to draw unparalleled tight arcs without letting go or losing speed.

The single concave feeds through a double and releases to a V out the tail to give a frictionless sensation of acceleration and drive coming out of a turn. Rail to rail transitions are some of the smoothest experienced, and the way the Hipster Twin feeds up the face makes everything seem easier.

It just feels like there’s a lot less drag, which equates to a sensation of speed. You really notice it when you put the board on rail and see it accelerate. 

All of this results in longer surfs just because you’re just having way too much fun. It’s as simple as that.

SMIK hasn't re-invented the wheel on this one, but we've done a pretty fine rendition of it.

The Wide boy is ideal for those wanting a shorter board to surf yet requiring extra volume and stability. The board has a wider nose and center point for early entry into the wave yet turns with ease thanks to the pulled-in swallow tail.

It also features reinforced wood/glass standing area for additional strength.

THE CREEK received its name from our good friend Mr. Rick Weeks aka SUPthecreek. Over the last 6 years, Rick has become somewhat of our master tester and approver of our SUP surf range. With his intensive knowledge of other boards on the market and his never effected time for constant testing, his judgment is very much appreciated. 

Over the last years, he really understood better than almost anyone including ourselves, our range and what each board really does and where it belongs. So it was only a matter of time before Rick asked Bert. 

How would it be if I wanted: The outline of the SKATE, the performance of the FLOW, the rocker of the ACID, and most important the tail of the SPEEED. 

Well... A lot of people asked that same question and this is the result.
