1450 for a quad fish with messed up color blems or those sand thrus on bottom side of the tail
what's the hate on Album glassing1450 for a quad fish with messed up color blems or those sand thrus on bottom side of the tail
it's like aaaaaaaa, genre or sumpting.
You know after trying these on the moon...I think the CC Keels are the ticket. These felt pretty good overall but I lost a good amount of pivot compared to the CC'sSpeaking of fins...I picked these Mccallum keels up from cpt fin to try out on the moonstone. About to be purple raining on this swell!

So how are you liking it? are the dimensions working out as you had hoped? This board piques my interest as well as a few others in this realm.
I've only had about 4 sessions on it so far, but all of them have been positive. Catches waves great & the amount of speed it generates with little effort is really impressive. It feels like nothing to get it around sections. Board just wants to run.
I know guys like Kerzy/Geiselman like it as a step up, but I'm not really sold on that I think. Feels more of a DD with a good upper end/range but not something your grabbing for more serious waves with a lot of paddling. Townsend feels more like a alt step up over it I would say in terms of being stable controlling speed. On that note though it did do great in the overhead stuff I had it in today, but expect a good amount of speed to manage.
Wish it had a little more nose rocker to help in the steeper sections. I actually caught it once today when the wave sucked out some. I never catch noses on my shorter fish, so Its probably a combination of the added length and low nose rocker. To give you an idea the rocker overall on it is less than my townsend and my xanadu fish. Its pretty low overall. Rails are nice, similar to my townsend, but more knifey in the back quarter. I think somebody said theirs were chunky, mines not that and foam is distributed well I think. Maneuvers really great, pretty playful, especially when I was running CC keels on it which are a little more upright than most keels.
Overall stoked on it so far and would ride it on any day I would grab my regular keel fish or bigger days where I would want to be on a fish but would like more paddle power & rail.
Outstanding! Thank you for the detailed review! Interesting about the rocker, I thought that I read somewhere that it had a fair amount. Based on this feedback, I think if I were to place an order, I might go for something around 6 ft. Looking at the various Moonstones builds on IG, there are some shorter ones that look fun. I am still contemplating. Thanks again!
No pizza stains, SAD!!!! Still plenty of slop, so YO-to-the-LO boi!!
Sure np. So mine was 6'2" x 20 x 2 7/16 so pretty custom dims compared to their stock dims. Not sure what they do rocker wise on the longer ones versus the shorter ones but I know overall its based on the Sunstone Matt said. Dont think there is anything I would change with it other than I wish it had a little more flip in the nose. This one came out to be around 35L and I usually ride more around 33, but feels fine with the added volume. Dont think i would change my dims if i was to get another for myself.
*Edit - Not a great side shot but this pic I sent to a buddy the other day might give you some sort of rough idea on how the rocker compares. I haven't measured anything, but just feels flatter overall when racked near my other boards and when paddling it.

Just thought you all might appreciate my two-pack I recently got from xtr. That's a 4'10" plasmic and a 5'2" Twinsfish, both just slightly wider and thicker than the stock versions. Apologies, I have no idea how to embed the pics in the post.
cool, just curious. looks like they’ve officially ditched the wing.
someone else’s recent XTR is the same.
How have none of you midgets jumped on this?

Haha what are you, Sasquatch? That’s mine, plz buy. I guess there’s no goofies who are asym curious in san deigo
A little late to reply but I have had both. There is definitely more area on the Asher’s compared to the NVS. I thought the NVS lacked drive and ended up selling them. Been using the Asher’s ever since.
