In the true essence of the twin fin, the Shorebird will feel fast, loose and have lots of forward drive. The twin fin surfboard is a great option for the ladies because the absence of the centre fin reduces drag considerably, and it’s therefore easier to generate down-the-line speed. The pivoting capabilities of the twin will also make for smooth, effortless turning in small to medium size waves.

From a design perspective the Shorebird lends from the old-school keel twin with a relaxed yet fast rocker, and a vee-to-single concave bottom that will instil trust in the rider when she takes off and starts to drive off the bottom. The traditional beak nose positions additional volume under the chest for easy wave catching. The modern elements include a narrower tail which allows for a tighter turn and assists with getting the board on rail for those chickas really leaning into their turns.
The Shorebird will actually satisfy a wide range of abilities and surf conditions, from beach breaks to point waves and reefs. Essentially, it targets the girls who have some experience riding waves who want a ’short’ surfboard with performance, flow and good vibes all rolled into one board.
Think easy paddling, lots of stability and enough turning response to satisfy the savvy Salt Gypsy wanting to really wet the rail.
*All Salt Gypsy surfboards were tested and designed with appropriate dimensions and volume allocations to suit female surfers so they can get the most out of every wave – they also come in a 100% stretch cotton dust jacket ensuring that zero plastic is used in the packaging of these surfboards.

Polyester or PU construction uses traditional materials and laminating techniques to produce a strong, reliable surfboard with high-quality finishes. All polyester boards are CNC milled from the shapers files and laminated by hand using quality components such as Hexcel fiberglass, Silmar resin and Bennett foam. For years traditional polyester boards have been at the forefront of performance surfing. These boards feature a progressive flex pattern controlled by a high-grade timber stringer and feel very reliable under your feet. Polyester construction will perform in all surf conditions and can be adapted to suit a wide variety of surfboard models.

Holly B.
Love this board! It works great. I like that it's low volume compared to a lot of fishes, but that may not be great for everyone.
Peter L.
Great experience so far!
Isobel H.
Very fun board. Easy to get on the waves. Very steady on the wave. Quite thick and chunky so more of a carving board. Good for beginners.
Kellie M.
Love love LOVE my shorebird. Has the paddle power of a mal but manoeuvres like a thruster. A board that will leave you with a permanent smile.

The Brand synonymous with ladyslider, the board synonymous with flying down the line, or drawing smooth lines across the face. Expect a board that flies across the flat sections and carries you right to the end of the wave, or the sand. Definitely should be part of every wahines' quiver, especially suited to point breaks. This maiden voyage I took it out in 1ft point break and had an absolute blast!

Fell in love with this board the second I saw it! Not only is it a beautiful looking board, it goes beautifully in the water as well. Such a great shape, and super fun to ride - that’s when I can get it off my partner! He loves it too!
Elyse C.
This board is so epic! It's the perfect shape and thickness for someone like me stepping up from a mini mal! The whole ordering/delivery experience was stellar as well. Love it love it! x
Krystal R.
Such a sick board, first twin fin I own and absolutely inlove with it!
Nicole H.
I find this board to be just as Salt Gypsy has suggested--I can catch waves that would have left me behind with a thruster; I can generate speed easily; the manoeuvrebility of the board is fantastic. This is my first time with a twin fin and the tail is definitely looser that with a tri-fin or single fin, but not exasperaringly so, and after a bit of practice my pop-ups have become less squirrley and the looseness of the tail just adds to the stoke!

Buying a new surfboard for my partner I came across Salt Gypsy and hearing good things about their surfboards. So luckily enough GSI supplies these boards and I went about ordering them.
The process was smooth as with the help of Kels in the online chat answering all my questions quick and succinctly.
Before you know, the boards been ordered and we're patiently awaiting it's arrival. Hopefully sooner than later!
Can't thank the team for their help!
Veeran M.
This board rips. It’s fast and easier to catch waves than a normal short board. plus, you can still dive under big sets!
