Lost California Twin Pin (5'7-5'9) Black Sheep

The Lost California Twin Pin is what happens when the California Twin grows up — faster through turns, more confident when waves stand up, and built for surfers who want fish-like fun with the range to handle real surf. A Mark Richards and Matt "Mayhem" Biolos collaboration, refined specifically for surfers asking for more.

The California Twin Pin fits a surfer who already knows what twin fins feel like and wants to push that style further.

• The intermediate surfer who's outgrown their fish and wants a board that rewards better technique
• The regular shortboarder looking to add a looser, more flowing option to their rotation
• The surfer who wants one board that works from small, punchy days through head-high-plus without feeling out of its depth
• The surfer coming from the original California Twin who wants slightly more hold and precision in steeper or bigger waves

If you love the speed and flow of a twin fin but want the confidence to take it into more challenging conditions, the California Twin Pin was built for you.

The California Twin Pin works across a wide range of conditions — that versatility is the whole point of its design. It's comfortable in soft, punchy beach break where it stays loose and generates speed easily. As surf gets more serious — fast walls, steeper drops, solid reef — the rounded pin tail and pulled-in outline hold their own where a wider-tailed fish would struggle.

Hawaii's variable lineups are where this board proves its value. One day you're in shin-to-waist surf and it glides; the next you're in overhead reef and it doesn't feel out of place. It's not the board for the biggest paddle-out days, but it handles far more than most twin fins.

Lost took the California Twin — already a proven design — and made targeted changes to expand its range without losing what made it work. They lengthened it by an inch, increased the nose rocker slightly, and pulled in the forward third of the outline. The hips between the feet were tightened, and the winged swallow tail was replaced with a rounded pin — giving the board its name and the hold that comes with it. Thickness through the centerline was kept for paddle power, but the deck was rolled to maintain a lower rail.

What they didn't touch: the iconic MR Twin + trailer fin layout and the single-to-double concave bottom that made the original so fast. In Blacksheep construction, the board is built on a lightweight 1.5lb EPS core laminated with Triax Non-Crimp Carbon Fiber on the deck and multiple layers of 4oz fiberglass throughout. The result is a board that's noticeably lighter and more responsive than a PU build — quicker to engage on take-off, lively through turns.

Blacksheep

Lost's EPS/carbon construction — lightweight 1.5lb EPS core with Triax Non-Crimp Carbon Fiber laminated on the deck and multiple layers of 4oz fiberglass. Noticeably lighter and more responsive than PU. Available with FCS II or Futures fin system.

Key Features:

• Lightweight and Flexible: Our boards combine the benefits of lightweight EPS foam and flexible carbon fiber, making them both responsive and durable.
• Triax Carbon: Laminated on the deck with a short bottom lap, our Triax Carbon provides rapid reaction and a forgiving flex.
• Multi-Layered Fiberglass: Sandwiched with multiple layers of 4oz, "D-size" fiberglass, our boards offer enhanced durability and performance.
• Unique Performance: The combination of Triax Carbon and fiberglass creates a lively and exciting surfing experience.

The Science Behind Triax Carbon:

Our Triax Carbon features a triple-axis +30/-30°/0 layup, which enhances and controls torsional force from rail to rail. This multi-axial carbon fiber is a significant improvement over traditional woven carbon fibers, as it:

• Reduces Crimping: Fibers lay flatter, retaining less resin and remaining smoother, straighter, and stronger.
• Eliminates Weak Points: Unlike traditional woven fabrics, our Triax Carbon has no 90-degree rail-to-rail carbon, reducing the risk of deck buckles, cracks, and breaks.

Caring for Your BlackSheepBuilt Surfboard:

To ensure the longevity of your investment, please note the following:

• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Carbon fiber surfboards can easily overheat, so avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or in a hot car.
• Use a Heat Reflective Day Bag: Protect your board from the sun's rays and heat.
• Properly Care for Dings: Allow the board to dry out and fix dings properly to prevent further damage.

With proper care and attention, your BlackSheepBuilt surfboard will provide hundreds of days of surfing enjoyment, remaining light, lively, and responsive on the waves.
