Anyone have feedback on the Heckler or Dwart Too? Both speak to me. Dwart Too seems like a great everyday Socal board.

Same here... Demo'd a Dwart Too but feel like I rode it over volumed. I am 5' 11" ~190lbs and tried the 5' 11" 37L Dwart Too. Didnt seem to catch waves easier than my 6' 2" daily driver that has less volume, and I couldn't duck dive it as well.

Still, seems like a board I'd be interested in, just need to work out the right sizing.

Not a great experience if an over sized grovell-ish board didn't catch waves better than your DD.

Has anyone ridden Rusty's performance shortboards? Curious what the feedback is on the Sister Brother, Model 8, and Yes Thanks. I've been riding Pyzel Phantom and Ghost as my shortboards and Rusty Blackbirds for guns. I like a little more stability in the front end of the board. Looking for a performance board for hollow 4-6 foot beach break.

Why don;t i just get a Shadow? Considering that too!

Don't know about the Dwart Too, but the original Dwart is an amazing board ridden as a thruster.

Dwart is meant to be ridden small - reference I'm 5'7 and was set up for a custom 5'2 and it was perfect.

Otherwise it will be a total boat and you will be hating life.

I almost ordered a 419 as well, but I can't tell if the nose is full (like a Lis fish) or more pointy. Seems like the Rusty website has them full but then photos of them on IG look real pointy.

these 2 boards almost look like completely different boards
there's your nose shot at 0:58 of the 1st video
I wanna say in the 2nd video, he's actually riding the Twin Fin

I think the pro riders are riding significantly narrower versions than the stock dims

In the main video for the model in smaller conditions, the pro dude says he’s riding 5’5”/ 20

stock model 5’5 is 20.68 wide
