For All The Reasons You Ride A Twin.
The Britt Merrick Twin delivers a lot - extra speed, loose pivot off the top, glide down-the-line and a layer of control that makes riding a twin effortless. What the dedicated twin advocates make look so easy, is sometimes not. This set bridges the gap and allows you to rip without holding back.
"THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BM TWIN WAS MORE ABOUT PURSUING A PERFORMANCE-ORIENTATED TWIN FIN. A FIN THAT YOU COULD PUSH HARDER, THAT YOU COULD TURN TIGHTER, THAT YOU COULD SURF MORE VERTICALLY."- BRITT MERRICK
Made with more than 30 layers of fiberglass with precision foils, Britt Merrick’s new signature twin fin set is the largest in the FCS range, with a template that sits on the border between the twin and keel categories.
Highly swept back with a long leading edge that leads to a full rounded tip, this twin set will feel really secure when laying into a longer turn or driving hard off the bottom, something that’s not typically associated with twin fins.
Like many twin templates, the BMT can be switched out between different board models, and both Mikey February and Tom Curren played a part in the R and D and refinement of the fin.
In this case Britt Merrick had a variety of boards in mind when he designed this fin. With the CI Twin Pin and soon to be released Mid Twin, the idea was to help anchor the tail into the wave face so surfers could take a more aggressive approach to riding a twin. With the CI Free Scrubber model, the fin provides a very reliable feel, much like a traditional thruster.
“WHAT I FOUND WITH THIS FIN IS THAT IT REALLY HELPS ME WHEN I NEED MORE HOLD OUT OF A TWIN-FIN. LET’S SAY THE WAVES GET A LITTLE BETTER AND YOU’D NORMALLY RIDE YOUR TWIN-FIN, POP THIS SET IN AND YOU’LL HAVE MORE HOLD AND MORE DRIVE AND IT WILL OPEN UP TWIN-FINS TO A WHOLE NEW DIMENSION.”- BRITT MERRICK
