The Morning of the Earth Fiji Triple Stringer is a 6'8 custom twin fin built for waves with some real quality behind them. It earns its place whenever the swell obliges.
What it is and why I bought it
I ordered the Fiji in October 2019, a PU board with a triple-stringer build, a mid rocker and soft rails running into a four-channel bottom and a rounded pintail. The log describes it plainly: it loves good waves from 2 ft up, which is exactly the brief it was built to.
How it surfed
The Fiji has delivered on that brief. Its best wave came at Freshy, at a top speed of 35.4 km/h (about 22 mph) over 160 metres, a genuinely fast result for a board this size. A custom fin set, styled after the Mark Richards approach and made specifically for this board, has been the pairing behind it. The logged wave range is 3 to 6 ft, ideal at 5 ft, confirming it wants a proper wave rather than the smallest days to show what it can do.
Who it suits and who it does not
A quality-wave twin fin like this suits someone who already has a small-wave board covered elsewhere in the rack and wants a dedicated twin for when conditions turn on. It is not the pick for soft, small surf; below its 3 ft floor, this board is not the one to reach for.
What happened to it
It is still in the rack. It cost $1,700 to build and carries an asking price of $1,000, and it is among the more regularly used boards in the current quiver.
Questions people ask
What fins work on the Fiji Triple Stringer?
A custom fin set built specifically for this board, in the style of a classic Mark Richards setup, is the pairing logged against it.
What conditions suit the Fiji best?
The logged range is 3 to 6 ft with 5 ft as the ideal, so it wants genuine wave quality rather than the smallest, softest days.
How fast has the Fiji gone?
Its best logged session hit 35.4 km/h over a 160 metre wave at Freshy, a strong number for a 6'8 twin fin.
