The all new, California Twin Pin is a natural extension of the wildly popular California Twin. A design collaboration between the legendary, 4x World Champion surfer/shaper, Mark Richards and Matt “Mayhem” Biolos in our dang difficult to ding environmentally nicer travel friendly construction! A souped up and slightly sleeked out, all-around performance vehicle from two of the greatest minds in surfing. Not a true step up, but more of a bridge between squatty/speedy fish and a proper performance shortboard, equally at home in punchy, stomach-high shores or running overhead reef passes and point breaks.

Product Construction
ecoIMPACTO
Mike Olson and Lib Tech's experiMENTAL division applied their 35+ years of hands on board building experience to the task of building a better surfboard. In the process they completely rewrote the book on surfboard construction. Every component they use in their ecoIMPACTO surf construction is completely new to the surf industry. Their Thermo fusion process radically minimizes resin exposure and sanding while creating amazingly durable, environmentally friendly, high performance surf structures that will free your mind and lift your surfing to new heights.
- Nitrogen cell eco up-cycled foam
- Bio-matrix plant based resin
- Magnesium fiber
- G-Glass fiber
- Hexylon thermo-fusion honeycomb power panel
- Carbon power spine
- Lib-Tech leash plug
Additional Info
To make the California Pin, they began with the California Twin and…
- Lengthened 1”, subtlety increased nose rocker and gently pulled in the forward 1/3 of the outline
- Added some thickness though the center line, to maintain paddle power , but rolled the deck line, to maintain a modest rail
- Pulled in the “hips” of the outline, between the feet, and changed the tail to its name defining, forgiving, rounded pin
These changes make for a fast, forgiving and precise board, with a continuous curve outline that expands on the range of functionality of the original. What they did not change, however, was the iconic MR Twin+trailer fin layout, design and positioning, nor the wicked fast and fun, single to double concave bottom curves.
Lib Tech is dedicated to board riding and hands on high tech board building. They have spent a lifetime of surfing, shaping and working with alternative, high performance, environmentally friendly materials and constructions. Traditional surfboard construction has always felt too fragile and the build process is toxic and unhealthy for the planet and craftspeople. Lib Tech knew there had to be a way...
