 Along with his classic designed Retro Twin, Mark is additionally releasing a range of more contemporary performance boards. "I am really excited about my Supertwin and Spitfire models being available in the Surftech range this year. I am really impressed with the quality, durability, and performance of the Surftech epoxy construction." Comments Mark Richards. "I see this partnership as an essential part of the Mark Richards range of Surfboards." Marks history as a shaper began even before his lauded surfing career. At age 13, Mark was given a planer by his father and taught to shape by legendary shaper Geoff McCoy. He came into his own as a shaper in the mid 70's, when tutored by pioneer shapers Dick Brewer, Ben Aipa, Reno Abellira, Gerry Lopez, Tom Parrish, and Jim Richardson. Throughout his career and since officially retiring in 1985 Mark has focused on shaping boards, crediting shaper Pat Rawson as a continued inspiration throughout his shaping career. While his infamous superman style "MR" badge is intrinsically associated with his sought after retro twin fin models, Mark has continued to widen and refine his designs as can be seen in the range of Tuflite models he has developed with Surftech. Though being showcased at the fall shows, the full line will be available at only the finest surf shops in spring 2009.

Look up "twin fin" in the dictionary and you'll find Mark Richards.
This "Twin Plus One" model was designed as an alternative to a regular thruster. With the twin plus one fin option you can alternate between Thruster or Twin configuration and ride this board in a wide range of surf conditions. With the same dimensions of the spitfire, the Super Twin is a great alternative to your normal thruster. More  6'2" - Retro Twin

An Exact Replica of MR's favourite twin fin designed originally in 1980.
This is the board that brought MR a host of high profile victories. Featuring a deep rail and a fluted wing for holding power. Lots of surface area in the forward section of the board for fast paddling and performance. More 6'2" - Spit Fire
