This is Dane Gudauskas on a proto CI Mid with two fins. The CI Mid comes stock as a two plus one, 6.5" center with 3.6" or 4" sides. This set up is a balanced blend of the freedom you get from a single fin but with the added drive the "thruster" vibe gives you from its three fins. You can also ride it as a single-fin. We are currently developing our own single template but in the meantime we recommend the Greenough 4a or the Liddle L Flex in 8" for 6'10 and under, and 8.5" for boards over that up to about 7'6" the maybe you should jump to 9"....
Devon Howard has been experimenting with some varied versions of the CI Mid as a twin fin. So far it seems a stock Mid with the new Britt Merrick Twin template is the go, MR Style fins work well too but not as drivey. This version here that Dane Gudauskas is riding has a twin with our AMK (keel fin) set. Having tried the AMK on the Mid as is, Devon found it was too much fin for the Mid's not-so-wide tail template. In this proto he had us widen up the tail to a wide squash and the results were pretty dang good. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, especially if you aren't into Midlength type designs, but for those that are both Devon and Dane are loving this experimental version of the Mid.
And just like any designs we have at CI we never stop tinkering and playing around with existing designs to see how we can improve them. So if you have a thought about tweaking any existing models, we'd love to hear from you and have the opportunity to build something custom for ya. As for this board featured here, (6'11 x 21 1/8 x 2 3/4"), we will keep you posted on the Mid Twin version we hope to make available soon but it's still currently being tested to fine-tune fin placement...
