Shyama Buttonshaw SB Twin
These SB Twins are part of a collection that Shyama built from start to finish in his studio located behind Bells Beach. Shyama grew up in the Bells Beach area and has honed his shaping skills while surfing waves of consequence along the coast of Victoria and South Australia.
From Shyama
“The SB twin provides myself and customers with a direct alternative to a short board thruster. Born from my experience with upright performance twins, where I found the erratic nature frustrating but loved the acceleration and freedom they offered.
The SB twin resulted from blending my knowledge of quads, twin fins, and thrusters, finding what elements worked best between them. It sits somewhere between all three, featuring a single concave for trimming off a flatter bottom line. A moderate rail line curve gives it a lively response and prevents it from feeling flat, dramatically reducing the instability of generic upright twin fins. Fins positioned further back offset the pivot whilst adding forward projection. These boards are versatile, scaling from small wave all-rounders to larger wave step-ups.
Though not a full fish, this board performs well in the shoulder to well-overhead range. The SB twin + features a moderate continuous rocker and pulled-in outline for greater control in larger, more powerful surf, suitable from head high to well over double overhead. They can be custom-made into larger gun-style boards for waves well over double overhead. All SB twins are recommended for use with Glide SBT and SBT1 fins, specifically designed to enhance the dynamic response of a keel template while minimising pivot.
Colour work is a way for me to have a dual response to board expression. Studying Josef Albers ‘Interaction of Colour’ and working with my father Simon Buttonshaw and brother Raphael Buttonshaw, deepened my exploration of colour and its relationship to how surfboards look and feel in the ocean”
