Thanks! I ride a 5'10 x21 x2.6 Sunstone. And I dig it but want something a bit more performance. SO maybe the stock 5'11?

I think you're in the ball park. My Lightbender is 2.6 thick and I went 2.5 on the Twinsman as per Matt's recommendation since it has a flatter deck. Rail thickness seems about the same. I think you could get away with a touch more thickness on the LB if you are looking to maximize volume. It will definitely have more low end than the Twinsman but it's not going to grovel like a full on wide tailed board.
GONE!
5'3 Twinsman
5'3 x 19.5" x 2.38" The premier tool of the twin-fin trade. In Asher’s first batch of Albums, this model rose to the top to become his go-to performer in all conditions. Everyone was asking "what is he riding?!" Slight concave deck, foam pushed to the perimeter, with a revolutionary rail to...albumsurf.com
AP exacta? Tempting.
I wonder if a 5'3 is too small for me?
Im thinking a 5'4 or 5'5, correct?? I'm 5'6 150lbs.
Big fat it depends. I would seek Matt’s council. I think custom 5’3 is better then riding one at your height.GONE!

Twinsman
A modern iteration of a timeless outline. This board will change your perspective of what a twin fin is. With a slight concave deck, foam pushed to the perimeter, and rail to rocker to bottom contour that generates speed effortlessly but allows for easy control, turning and drive on-demand. Josh...

Surfed the Twinsman at Kaiser’s (not a secret spot) and it feels like the board was made for that wave. It’s a shallow wedge and has a nice pocket and wall, similar to Snapper but obviously much shorter. Board went mental. Tight wraps in the pocket, finners and even a few barrels. Board really reminds me of my Stretch Mr Buzz.
Went with this, soft? sorta, organic? nope, but it is $45.

I eschew Album's whole "X" thing since I wasn't a fan of the straight edge subculture during my time in the early 80's hardcore scene and that was their signifier.
That's funny, I thought it was based on the XX's aesthetic:
The basicness is probably more suited to Album's image but could definitely be an edge thing.

We're getting dangerously close to full retard now.
It's sad, but the straight edge guys in the US-80s were fucking dicks, man. I hated all of 'em. They were basically puritanical right wingers, without the Jesus.
I’m pretty sure there’s no correlation to straight edge or The XX. I just feel too old to rock a t shirt with an X on it.
Coincidentally the XX is one of two bands (Beach House, being the other) that my wife will allow on “guests over” playlists.
She thinks most songs with fuzz, distortion, motorik or drone (or any combination of those) is annoying, which makes up the majority of my music library.
^Same, my music is not welcome in my wife's ears.
My wife is Latina Tica and first time she heard one of my live Dead tapes was like wtf
she tolerates and even has gone to festivals with me years ago but never well be a head
Lucky I love all kinds of music and still think best lazy Sunday afternoon music to late evening is Salsa and Merengue
Yeah, but Stussy does.Patagucci does not even charge that
