The RYD First Time is a fun, fast and lightweight twin fin designed with RYD ambassador and Championship Tour surfer Caio Ibelli.

Based on the first board Caio ever shaped, this model brings together classic twin fin speed with a more refined outline, giving you a board that feels playful, responsive and surprisingly capable across a wide range of conditions.

The Shape

The First Time features a compact twin fin outline with a swallow tail and pronounced winger.

That winger helps pull the rail line into a narrower tail, giving the board extra bite, drive and control through turns. The swallow tail keeps things lively and responsive, while the refined rails help it feel more like a true performance board underfoot.

Underneath, a single concave runs under the front foot, blending into a double concave through the fin area. This helps the board generate speed quickly while still offering control when the waves have more push.

The EPS foam core, carbon fibre stringer and slick bottom keep the board light, fast and responsive.

Where It Works

The First Time is designed to be a versatile twin fin that works in more than just small, weak surf.

It will come alive in beach breaks, fun summer waves and clean, open faces, but it also has enough shape and control to handle better quality surf when the conditions line up.

It is a great option for surfers wanting to add a twin fin to their quiver without going too retro, wide or skatey.

How It Rides

Fast, loose and fun.

The First Time accelerates quickly, carries speed well through flatter sections and has that flowing twin fin feel that makes even average waves more exciting. The pulled-in tail and winger help add control, so you can push through turns rather than feeling like the board only wants to slide.

It comes supplied with a set of plastic twin fins, although upgrading to a stiffer twin fin set will help unlock more drive, hold and performance.
