James also has this rare Mark Richards model twinnie This was probably shaped by Chris Jones, made under licence at Vitamin Sea in Newquay in 1982 . Much like the Cheyne Horan model , having a famous surfers logo or name on the board helped sales . There were 50 or 60 Cheyne models made , and probably 30+ MR models, although both are pretty hard to find these days. The design is a British take on the classic MR twin fin , probably with a little more volume for the average UK wave . It has G&S star fins.
I can be definite on its age because here it is ! In a board section from a 1982 Surf Scene magazine . Its with other Vit Sea models including a red Cheyne Horan .
