It’s okay for others to like things that you don’t. Really.

That's literally the entire thread. Buy x/y/z wetsuit OTR or worse, mailorder, and complain. Same rants, often from the same people, over and over.
Yeah, I stand out because my wetsuits are great and I don't complain about them and I offer a solution...and I also point out the marketing BS, the flaws in the designs, and suggest people who can't fit into standard sizes go custom.
That's what this forum is about. Discussion of surf products for people who surf. I have my own views based on my experience, I don't care if you agree with them or not.
I guess you would like it more if I was buying a few new suits every year and then whining about how **** poor the quality was.
I've been riding some twin fins the past couple months and i have seen a noticeable increase in my surfing. They allow you to pivot so much better and have way more speed. Faster snaps and easier to get under the lip are what i have noticed the most.
Biolos starts beef with anyone that is getting the attention that he wants. Biolos is a silly dude.
In surfboard world, good marketing can get you once or twice.
If someone gets 3 shitty boards from a shaper, you really think marketing will keep them coming back?
Bottom line, Album's boards work and that's why people continue to order multiple boards from him.

Twin fins are my favorite surfboards. I have always loved them, ever since I picked up a 5’ something winged twin with. Sweet rasta spray from Bob Pearsons shop as a grom.
Rode many others over the years. Snd some good and some true dogs
We are living in great times for twin fin afficionados
Currently have 2 Griffin twins, a beamish twin and an Alpha Omega.
I was thinking about trying a twinsman at some point, dont see myself picking anything over my Alpha Omega short term.
Maybe when someone here dumps a YOLO cheap.

I liked it when he posted here. He would get into it with posters. It was great.
Years ago. Julian made it pretty far, finals iirc, in a Haleiwa Prime/6star what would be a Challenger Series type event now. Matt posted that he made JW a few boars and was kinda claiming it. Thing was WSL had a pic of Jules doing an air at the event on a Tokoro. When I pointed that out Matt replied something like yeah always room for a pintail in Hawaii. It wasn’t disrespectful but there was a dismissive vibe. Or it was probably me snowflaking it for my shaper friend. Haha.
See... that's what i'm saying. Biolos will throw a jab like that for no reason. He's got an ego issue. But at the same time, it's nice to see a guy that isn't afraid to speak his mind.
This forum is for talking sh!t. If you have story ...tell it. Otherwise shut it. No one wants to hear about the story you are not going to tell. GG pulled that sh!t for years and it is the most cowardly of trolling attempts. We expect more from you.
what happened to local Unkos here and twin fins? Same thing every time I’m on one, “does it hold?”
Um, no I slide out every time that’s why I keep riding it.
Where did the twin fin hurt you braddah?
Feels like a cross between Eps and PU, in my opinion. Light but not too light like Eps. Flows through the water like PU, not on the water like EPS. Holds inertia. Flex is like new PU. I don’t feel a similarity to XTR, much more flex than XTR. Maybe some similarities to XTR parallel carbon, but not as light (good thing).
if the Unks are as old as me they remember setting up the backside tube of your life and that 80’s twin sliding out and pitching you over the falls in front of all your laughing friends. Fakas don’t even ask if you’re ok before scream laughing.
Im triggered.
I'll disagree with Racer on this one. I think that XTR and Varial actually feel pretty similar......at least when you compare stingerless XTR to Varial with the same glass schedule. Of course you can stiffen both up various ways. Both feel like something in-between PU and EPS to me.
Depends on the wave size and power for me.
Small to medium sized waves waves that are weak to mid power, Varial all fvcking day.
Waves with some serious push and/or something well overhead, I'd go with a PU.
Didn’t realize there was a beef. lol. Did Album try to poach Wardo? I guess that San Calamity isn’t big enough for the both of them.
