Meet the Patterson S-Twin: Speed, Flow & Fun Explained

Some surfboards are built to perform.

Others are built to make every session more enjoyable.

The Patterson S-Twin manages to do both.

Designed by legendary California shaper Timmy Patterson, this high-performance twin fin takes inspiration from the timeless Sherman round nose fish and reimagines it with modern design features that deliver speed, responsiveness and versatility in almost any type of surf.

Whether you're chasing playful beach breaks, long point waves or everyday summer conditions, the S-Twin is all about one thing:

Fast. Flow. Fun.

A Modern Take on a Timeless Design

Twin fins have made a huge comeback over the past few years—but the Patterson S-Twin isn't simply a retro fish.

Timmy Patterson spent years refining this design alongside surfers from around the world, creating a board that combines the effortless glide of a classic twin with the control and responsiveness demanded by modern surfing.

The result is a board that feels intuitive from the very first wave.

Built for Speed

Speed is what defines the S-Twin.

Its low rocker helps the board paddle easily and generate instant acceleration, while the wider outline creates lift and momentum even when the waves lack power. Instead of forcing speed through constant pumping, the board naturally carries drive down the line, allowing you to surf with confidence and efficiency.

This makes the S-Twin an excellent choice for:

• Summer beach breaks
• Soft point waves
• Everyday conditions
• Smaller surf where maintaining speed is essential

Flow Through Every Turn

One of the standout features of the S-Twin is the way it transitions from rail to rail.

The board features a single wing swallow tail, allowing for a more pulled-in tail while maintaining the width needed for speed. Combined with a subtle single concave flowing into a vee through the tail, the shape creates smooth, controlled direction changes without losing momentum.

Rather than surfing with abrupt, stop-start movements, the S-Twin encourages flowing lines, long carves and stylish surfing.

It's the kind of board that makes every turn feel connected.

Playful Without Losing Control

Twin fins are known for their loose, skate-like feel.

The Patterson S-Twin embraces that freedom while adding an extra level of confidence.

Designed to be ridden as a twin fin with a small trailer, it offers the playful sensation surfers love while improving hold and stability when the waves become steeper or more powerful.

The result is a board that's loose when you want it to be—but predictable when you need it.

More Than a Small-Wave Board

Although the S-Twin truly shines in softer surf, it's far from being a one-condition board.

Thanks to its balanced outline and refined bottom contours, it remains fast, responsive and reliable throughout the year. From weak summer peaks to clean overhead point waves, the board adapts effortlessly, making it an ideal everyday option for surfers who value versatility.

Premium Construction, Lasting Performance

Every Patterson S-Twin is built using Surftech's Fusion Pro EPS/Epoxy construction, combining lightweight performance with exceptional durability.

Key features include:

• Lightweight fused-cell EPS core for increased buoyancy and responsiveness.
• HD epoxy resin for strength and long-term durability.
• Carbon stringer for added pop and controlled flex.
• Biaxial fiberglass reinforcement for improved impact resistance.
• Hand-laminated and hand-finished construction for premium quality.

The result is a lively board that feels responsive under your feet while standing up to years of everyday surfing.

Who Is the Patterson S-Twin For?

The S-Twin is perfect for surfers who want to:

• Add speed to everyday sessions.
• Experience the freedom of a modern twin fin.
• Draw longer, smoother lines.
• Generate speed in weaker waves.
• Own one board that performs across a wide variety of conditions.

Whether you're replacing your everyday shortboard or looking to add a fresh feel to your quiver, the S-Twin offers a unique balance between performance and pure enjoyment.

Fast. Flow. Fun.

Those three words perfectly capture what makes the Patterson S-Twin special.

• Fast enough to generate effortless speed.
• Flow that rewards clean, stylish surfing.
• Fun that keeps you paddling back out for one more wave.
