If you've been chasing that perfect blend of speed, flow, and control on your twin fin surfboard, the Futures Fins MR Twin +1 setup might just be your next upgrade. At Spunky’s Surf Shop, Fort Pierce’s surf authority since 1994, we’ve seen fin preferences evolve. But some designs, like the MR Twin +1, stand the test of time and swell.

Designed by World Champion Mark Richards, this fin setup has been a game-changer for surfers looking to channel that fast, skatey feel without sacrificing hold and control. In this blog, we’ll break down what makes the MR Twin +1 so special, how it elevates your surf game.

Why people Are Obsessed with the MR Twin +1 Fin Setup

Built for Speed, Engineered for Control

The MR Twin +1 blends the traditional twin fin looseness with the added control of a stabilizer. This combo gives you:

• Explosive down-the-line speed

• Quick release off the lip

• Tighter turning arcs

• More drive in steep sections

If you’ve ever felt like your twin fin lacked hold when the waves got punchy, the +1 center fin changes the game.

Designed by a Surfing Icon: Mark Richards

Mark Richards didn't just slap his name on these fins — he helped design them to match his legendary style: fast, stylish, and aggressive. Whether you're surfing small Florida beach breaks or a clean winter groundswell, these fins deliver consistent performance.

Premium Materials = High-Performance Feel

Crafted in Fiberglass for optimal flex and durability, the MR Twin +1 holds steady under pressure and transitions smoothly rail to rail. They’re ideal for boards with deeper concaves and wider tails — like your modern retro fish or performance twin.

Frequently Asked Questions About Twin +1 Fin Setups

It can be — especially for intermediate surfers looking to experiment with flow and down-the-line speed. Just pair it with the right board and clean conditions.
