KC Twin Fin



Gary Green from SW.

Gary Green is considered one of the best free surfers in the world of his era and growing up he was one of my idols.
Unfortunately being one of the best free surfers in the world didn't pay much and when I got to meet him he was happily driving a delivery truck for a wetsuit company.
I always longed for one of his KC twin fins.
Their simple unpretentious honesty. 6'0" single fly swallow tail shaped by Greg Trotter in Avalon. Classic shape, beautiful construction and the after hours phone number of the shaper right there on the board.
I understand why you might want to call your shaper during the day.
But after hours? Well there it is......
Good, solid, honest, unpretentious people
