Half-Moon

Pick the length and width that puts you in the 26–35L band for your weight and skill. The featured stock-dim band on the page is tuned to the everyday-twin window — that's where the moon tail does its best work. Sizes outside the band (smaller groms, heavier riders) are available via the All Sizes toggle. Between sizes? Size up in volume for softer surf, down for overhead with push.

A swallow releases water early — looser, more pivot, great for small-wave fish feel. A round-pin holds tighter through a deep bottom turn but feels less alive in mid-range surf. The moon tail sits between them on purpose: the wings open up enough to break loose at the top of a turn but catch enough to hold through the bottom. It's the middle-ground twin.

No. The Half-Moon is twin-only. The moon tail and bottom contour are tuned around two fins specifically — the way the wings release water and the way the double concave drives behind the fins both depend on the twin setup. A thruster, quad, or 2+1 conversion would fight the shape. If you want a quad, look at the shortboard models; if you want a twin+trailer, look at other Lundquist twins.

Chest-to-shoulder shaped surf — the daily SoCal window. Soft south at Lowers, organized morning at San Onofre point, T-Street with shape, Salt Creek chest-high. Travel use: mainland Mexico point surf (Saladita, La Ticla), Scorpion Bay, Baja peelers, Indo on a softer day. Not a knee-high mush board, not a step-up for overhead-and-up — those days reach for a different shape.

Not really. Without a center fin you're committing to twin-fin feel — the board breaks loose differently than a thruster, and the moon tail rewards a rider who knows how to load the back foot. Intermediates comfortable on a twin will get along with it; advanced surfers who want a twin that holds through a deeper bottom turn than a swallow allows will too. Beginners are better on a wider, flatter board with a thruster or 2+1 setup.

Turnaround depends on the finish:

• Clear resin sanded — 4–6 weeks
• Tint gloss + polish — 6–8 weeks
• Resin tint sanded — 8–10 weeks

Same modern-twin family — single-into-double concave bottom, medium rocker, twin-only intent. The divergence is the tail: the Two Happy runs a squash, the Twinsman varies, and the Half-Moon commits to the moon shape specifically. The moon gives a slightly wider working volume range than a pin tail and slightly more hold than a swallow. Pick on tail preference more than on hydrodynamic feel.

Sometimes. We keep a small number of display boards in the shop in Carlsbad so you can hold one, check the moon-tail outline, see the finish. Message us to confirm what's currently available — stock rotates as boards sell. There are no in-stock Half-Moon boards right now (April 2026) but we'll flag when one lands.
