ZI TWIN MINI – BOARD TALK
“The Zi Twin Mini packs paddle power, speed, and fun into a compact outline—perfect for making the most of small, playful surf.”
– JOEL FITZ.
The Zipper is designed for surfers seeking a balance of fun, speed, and paddle power in small-wave conditions.
The design of this compact twin fin delivers a lively, fluid and engaged surfing experience. With a subtle rocker profile and wider nose area, the Zipper has excellent paddle power, fast wave entry, and smooth acceleration across the wave face.
Whether you’re surfing low-energy beach breaks or playful point breaks, the Zipper's classic fish-inspired outline offers stability and flow, while the concave and twin fin configuration enhance responsiveness and speed. This model is a versatile small-wave board that suits both experienced surfers looking for maximum fun, and newer surfers wanting an easy, confidence-inspiring ride.
The Zipper can be ordered with either a twin fin or twinzer setup.
