Fancy a surfboard that combines performance, style and authentic Hawaiian heritage?
Discover the Town & Country Missing Link, an iconic model that has made its mark on surfing history and continues to appeal to discerning surfers today. Designed by shaper Makani McDonald, this ultra-versatile hybrid board bridges the gap between a classic shortboard and a step-up for more powerful waves. It’s particularly renowned for its speed, manoeuvrability and its ability to hold an edge far more effectively than a traditional twin fin.
A design built for performance The Missing Link stands out for its versatile shape, designed to offer an excellent balance between manoeuvrability and speed. Whether you’re surfing small to medium waves or looking for more dynamism in your turns, this board delivers thanks to its carefully engineered outline and optimal volume distribution.
Town & Country’s expertise Since its founding in Hawaii, Town & Country has established itself as a leading name in the industry. The brand upholds a high standard of artisanal craftsmanship, and the Missing Link is a perfect illustration of this: each board is designed to deliver an authentic experience, true to the spirit of traditional Hawaiian surfing.
Technical specifications and features
-
Wave versatility: performs equally well in small, one-metre waves as in deeper, more powerful conditions of up to 2.50 metres.
-
Fin configuration: excels as a twin fin (with or without a stabiliser/trailer), but features multi-plug sockets (FCS2 or Futures) so it can be ridden as a thruster or quad.
-
Shape & Outline: refined outline, low entry rocker for fast paddling, beaked nose and sculpted front section to maximise acceleration.
-
Tail options: generally available with a Round Pin Tail for maximum grip in the trough, or made to order with a Baby Swallow Tail for more drive and manoeuvrability.
Whether you’re an experienced surfer looking for a reliable board or a keen collector in search of a cult classic, the Town & Country Missing Link is sure to meet your expectations. Its balance between tradition and performance makes it a wise choice for improving your skills and enjoying an optimal ride session after session.
