The Fin
Designed by Tappy Yoshikawa, the Tappy Twin is an upright design that pairs well with performance twin fin surfboards. Often paired with a trailer this twin fin provides speed and power, with the ability for lightning fast directional changes in the pocket. With roots from the classic Mark Richards style twin, Tappy has put his own unique spin on this template to create a modern performance twin fin. Well suited for a wide range of board types and conditions, the Tappy Twin will create drive, while remaining loose and responsive. Takuya "Tappy" Yoshikawa is a passionate and innovative Japanese surfboard shaper who combines tradition and modernity to create unique and quality products. He started surfing at the age of 12 and shaped his first board at the age of 17. Along the way, he went to art school to study graphic art. After a ten-year break, he returned to making boards at the age of 30 and continues to do so today. Tappy Yoshikawa was influenced by San Diego shaping legend Skip Frye, whom he had the opportunity to watch work, which was a valuable experience for him.

What people say
The roots are the classic Mark Richards upright twin, reworked into something more modern: loose and responsive in the pocket, but with enough base to generate real drive down the line.
Put it on a twin-box fish or retro shape you want to surf playfully and quickly through the pocket; it makes fast directional changes without going washy, and on a fish in waist-to-head-high beachbreak it is lively and quick. If you want more drive and a heavier, more powerful feel, the TA Twin is the move.
More About This Fin
Performance twin set designed by Takuya "Tappy" Yoshikawa and made by True Ames in Futures-compatible solid fiberglass. The upright template derives from the classic Mark Richards twin and is smaller in area than the True Ames TA Twin. It is built for fish and twin-box boards and is often run with a small trailer; Yoshikawa designed a matching Tappy Trailer for that purpose.
