The SMIK Hipster Twin does it all very well. It’s a very stable board when paddling, it paddles well with the lowered rocker, it turns super easy on the wave. SMIK have really nailed this design and the use of the twin fins with a small trailer brings a whole new level of fun to SUP surfing. It feels fast on the wave because of it, but it still gives you hold when pushing hard during a turn. There’s not much else we can say except try one or buy one.

Got a question about this product?

Pros: Everything!

Cons: Tracking when paddling onto the wave

Consider buying if... You are after a board that can do it all

What the brand says

“Squeeze every drop of fun out of your SUP Surf sessions”

Built on the ethos that high performance shouldn’t mean hard to use, the Hipster Twin will have you squeezing every drop of fun out of your SUP Surf sessions. A true performance wave SUP board that wants to flatter you.

It’s almost impossible not to notice the performance that’s evolved from twin fins in the surfing world. The Hipster twin was born from the thought that a twin fin would be perfect for a SUP, helping to loosen things up a bit.

Now the best selling performance SUP in Australia and with a cult following around the World, and multiple best in test reviews. Try and find someone who has ridden one who doesn’t want to tell you how great they are!

With its fuller nose and moderately compact shape, the Hipster Twin allows you to go shorter with added stability and glide. It doesn’t feel awkward to paddle over large distances.

The single concave feeds through a double and releases to a V out the tail to give a frictionless sensation of acceleration and drive coming out of a turn. Rail to rail transitions are some of the smoothest experienced, and the way the Hipster Twin feeds up the face makes everything seem easier.

It just feels like there’s a lot less drag, which equates to a sensation of speed. You really notice it when you put the board on rail and see it accelerate.

All of this results in longer surfs just because you’re having way too much fun. It’s as simple as that.
