Lib Tech MR × Mayhem California Twin Pin ecoIMPACTO 5'9 x 20 ½ x 2 ½ Surfboard

To make the California Pin, they began with the California Twin and…

• Lengthened 1”, subtlety increased nose rocker and gently pulled in the forward 1/3 of the outline
• Added some thickness though the center line, to maintain paddle power , but rolled the deck line, to maintain a modest rail
• Pulled in the “hips” of the outline, between the feet, and changed the tail to its name defining, forgiving, rounded pin

These changes make for a fast, forgiving and precise board, with a continuous curve outline that expands on the range of functionality of the original. What they did not change, however, was the iconic MR Twin+trailer fin layout, design and positioning, nor the wicked fast and fun, single to double concave bottom curves.

Lib Tech loves all things surf (almost)
Lib Tech is dedicated to board riding and hands on high tech board building. They have spent a lifetime of surfing, shaping and working with alternative, high performance, environmentally friendly materials and constructions. Traditional surfboard construction has always felt too fragile and the build process is toxic and unhealthy for the planet and craftspeople. Lib Tech knew there had to be a way...

It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it
20 years ago, Mike Olson set off on a Lib Tech mission to build a better surfboard. In the process he completely rewrote the book on surfboard construction. Every component Lib Tech uses in their ecoIMPACTO surf construction is completely new to the surf industry. The Lib Tech Thermo Fusion Process incorporates plant based bio resin, environmentally friendly recyclable blanks, radically minimizes sanding steps and resin exposure while creating amazingly durable, environmentally friendly, high performance surf structures that will free your mind and lift your surfing to new heights.

The ecoIMPACTO innovation evolution continues
Their experimental journey into new realms of surfboard performance takes two more steps forward with the lighter and brighter re-invention of the Lib Tech original ecoIMPACTO construction and the introduction of their very exciting performance elevating Techno-POP carbon construction on Mason Ho’s Little Wing model... even lighter, stronger and more responsive!

The Evolution of ecoIMPACTO
Mike Olson and Lib Tech's hands-on craftsperson crew are constantly experimenting and working to improve their process and materials. The latest incarnation of our original ecoIMPACTO construction incorporates a new improved formula of our foam and refinements to their process that reduces weight and improves performance while retaining that “Dang Difficult to Ding” durability that relaxes your lifestyle, makes Lib Techs the best travel boards in the world and hold their value over time.

Foam Dust and Off Cut Recycling
Lib Tech's amazing Nitrogen Cell foam contains 25-40% recycled material and they are able to recycle 100% of their offcuts and shavings back into foam. (Traditional surfboard scrap foam ends up in the landfill.) Unused blank tusks and shavings are run through the Lib Tech in-house thermo densification process and turned into high density bricks which are up-cycled back into foam!
