I used FCS power twin , have some TAs on the way. Did have one wave where I moved my back foot to crank a turn and the board stopped. Other than that it was money.
See what everyone means about the small spot. Man is the sweet spot good though.

Are you really putting a pad on it?
BTW, I might try these in mine…
Orca Twin - Apex
The Orca is a large full sized twin with a wide base, moderate rake, and a refined tip; designed to offer a blend of speed, control, and agility. Ideal for heavier surfers and people who really like to push the limits of their board. It’s not too loose on the frontside and not too tracky going...

Big guy…out.
No, after further thought I dont think it's right. No pad will be applied
I’m kind of on the fence about it.
It just seems wrong to put a pad on an AO - but it is a dark arts build which all modern and sh!t.
Then there’s the whole foot placement thing.
If you put the pad in the exact right place you’re golden - but it will probably get you a Sad Pads honorable mention because the exact right pace is relatively far forward.
If you put it in anything other than the exact right place then may god have mercy on your sole.
This.
I always put my pads way back so this concerns me.
maybe after a month when I know exactly where the sweet spot is
I have a tail block I might put on. Simple and all black.
It just looks like it wants to get surfed hard and that would destroy my back foot with no pad
Ive had pretty mixed results with padding up twin fins. Even the HP ones.
My rear foot is going to automatically hunt for that kick so if the pad is too far back my rear foot will consistently be in the wrong place. Hard to overcome this for me.
My Plasmic EAST has a pad and its perfect but that board has fins placed far back and wants to be surfed like a thruster with a lot of back foot pressure.
Where ones rear foot should be in relation to the fins for turns is probably worthy of its own topic.

Many years ago after having issues in the Southpac with melting wax on a carbon Aviso I swore I would always rear pad. That being said I've had a DA varial core AO twin for the past few years and still haven't padded it. I do feel as if it's very rear foot placement sensitive. I still haven't found the perfect fins (Futures) but the best so far have been Rasta twins. I've been loving NVS Album uprights on others but not sure they will be enough fin for an AO.
Of fucking course makoman already has a carbon Varial AO twin
he has boards that haven’t even been shaped yet
he has boards that haven’t even been shaped yet
Just put the pad back far enough that you wont step on the hem of your dresses. Sheesh.
One off board - Dark Arts bagged but (supposedly) Varial core. Of course I did ride it a few times with Griffin Futures shaped for another twinny
Have you tried the True Ames TA twins?
They were, um, made specifically for that board.
