Surf Training Device

Designed with world champion Surfer Cory Lopez

The Twisted Fin 26 is a short, aggressive surf training board designed with world champion surfer Cory Lopez to train competitive surfers. At 26 inches long, it’s the smallest board in our lineup and the most demanding. You ride it with your shoulders and hips, the same way you’d lean into a wave on a real surfboard. This is for serious surfers only.

Even skilled skaters should wear a helmet and pads. Take it slow on your first rides until you and the board get to know each other. The curved deck shape and small kick tail give you leverage for tail slides and 180s.

Both setups deliver deep board lean, mounted on riser blocks with Hamboards’ signature cast polyurethane wheels. Buttery smooth and wide enough to deflect small rocks before you ride over them.

CARVE — 40/40 “Dig and Carve” For crazy tight turning carve and drive, this has the 40/40 on an impossibly short wheel base. Center of turning is exactly between the two axels. Designed by Cory Lopez, famous surf champion for himself and his kids, this is the set up that they love. Throw the tail like you’re hitting the lip and carve back down the face. The performance all-rounder for advanced riders who want everything from mellow cruising to aggressive rail-to-rail shredding.

SURF — 55/20 “Pump and Glide” Front-drive balance that prioritizes flow and the center of turning is directly under the rear heel. Same turning radius as the CARVE 40/40 but the center of turning is under the rear foot. This is the setup for surfskate enthusiasts. Build speed, make your S-turns, and generate forward thrust — this configuration cannot be cheated, the rider has to keep their center of gravity directly plumb with the deck.
