I've always thought the Bullet looked good and I'm more of a twin fin guy lately so it gets my vote.

I appreciate that the Shrizz vid shows guys surfing the board in some pretty marginal conditions. Looks like it goes pretty well. Aesthetically the rounded nose bothers me a little bit. Yes, I'm that petty.

yeah I looked in my fin stash and I have the Rainbow RSC, Aipas, T1s, Albums, and Rasta twins with no dedicated twin to put em in since I sold my R. and I don't wanna wait 6 mos for an Album. so initially leaning toward the Bullet. The footage of the Shrizz in normal waves does look real good though.

Those waves weren't exactly SD sh1tty. They were hollower and punchier and the surfer was light. You get a longer rail line with the wider nose further towards the tip and the pin tail, but I don't see how this helps in smaller waves. The squash tail is normally what you need to give lift when pumping for speed in smaller waves.

I think the twin configuration reduces drag which is nice.

Overall, I don't get it. If you want to buy a new board then YOLO. You might as well spend cash now before you need a wheelbarrow worth to buy a box of cereal.
