Thank god that isn't a 6'2 or else I'd be posting my screenshot and having to explain my actions to my Mrs.

can anyone with both an Insanity & Bullet comment on their feasibility as a 2-board quiver? too much overlap in range?

I know some folks here dig the Twinsman-Lightbender combo

in my conversations w/ Matt he's recommended a 5'10 x 19.5 x 2.5 Insanity and a 5'7.5 x 20 x 2.44 Bullet

First session on the Bullet twin. Waves were pretty sh1t like chest high windswell and stiff side shore winds but there were some wedges standing up and allowing for a turn or two occasionally. Board felt really good! Good entry into waves, tons of drive off the rail. No funny slips or weirdness, plenty of hold. Only had a few turn sections but managed a couple cutties and slices and then even got a backside snap on a steep closeout section that felt pretty good. Taking a new board out in conditions like this is normally a disaster but it worked out this time. Ran Rasta twins for the first time ever and I reckon they felt pretty good as well.

Do you ever have trouble switching boards, more so twin to thruster vs long / short twin?
Yeah sometimes. Usually going from boards with easy glide back to thrusters that need to be worked a bit more for speed. Just like anything though, the more you ride different equipment the more you get used to making the little adjustments. I used to struggle more when I was first experimenting with non-thruster boards but now I can usually catch my mistakes pretty quickly. Like if I hop up on my first wave back on a twin fin and start grinding away on that back foot it just instantly feels terrible and I know right away why and how to adjust.
