Timmy Patterson Blue Fin
Best high performance shortboard for intermediate to advanced surfers.
This is the rare mid-length that actually feels like a performance board rather than a boat. By packing extra foam into the rails for easy paddling, it sacrifices a bit of pure, aggressive verticality but gains the speed and flow needed to make average days feel exceptional.
