Ex-Demo Steal: SMIK Hipster Twin Pintail 8’6″ RRP $2,000 — Now Only $1,400
Elevate your surf SUP game with the legendary SMIK Hipster Twin Pintail. This ex-demo board offers the perfect chance to own one of the most highly-regarded performance shapes on the market at a fraction of the cost. Tuned for precision, speed, and vertical maneuvers, the Hipster Twin Pin is the “quiver killer” you’ve been looking for.
The Board Details
The 8’6″ x 31.5″ template provides a generous 132L of volume, making it the sweet spot for intermediate to advanced riders who want stability in the lineup without sacrificing “shortboard” performance on the wave face.
- Pintail Performance: Unlike the classic swallow tail, the Pintail version allows for smoother rail-to-rail transitions and tighter arcs, sitting more securely in the hollower part of the wave.
- Construction: High-quality EPS/Wood Deck. This lay-up is known for being lightweight and responsive while providing a “crispy” feel underfoot that resists heel dents.
- Condition: This is a clean ex-demo unit. It has a few honest cosmetic scratches from use, but no repairs and zero dings. It’s watertight and ready to rip.
- Ready to Ride: We’ve already done the hard work for you—railtaped to protect against paddle chips and fins are included.
Why the Hipster Twin Pin?
- Vertical Drive: Designed by Scott McKercher to drive more vertically up the face and pivot sharply off the lip.
- Speed & Looseness: The twin-fin configuration reduces drag, giving you a frictionless sensation of acceleration coming out of turns.
- Stability: The fuller nose and “hip” in the outline provide excellent stability while paddling, so you don’t wear yourself out before the set arrives.
