if u could only run 1 set in asym townsend, which would it be? those alkali ones are almost 2x price as anything else
i've mostly ran the fascination set in my asym. i like the built in drive of the semi keel style fins for that board. i think if it was longer than 6-8 i might prefer it with a more upright set. my 7-2 allan gibbons channel twin felt a little stiff with the more raked out fins so i've been running TA and other upright templates in it. still haven't ridden it in point waves though so maybe i would prefer a keel or semi keel in long runners.
do you have some twin sets to play with or a template that you prefer already?

new to the twin game. was gonna get a set of the gemini 5.45 ones since thats what matt recs. i'll get a set of the fascination ones too.
For what its worth the Gemini set has been by far my fav in my shorter round tail Townsend. I like my boards loose fyi and always struggle turning a little with longer rails/pins unless i run smaller fins. These gave me noticeably more pivot and playful feeling on the face
nope, haven't tried the NE1 twin set yet. any ride reports on this one?
Some1 said they liked them in their Townsend for tiger sheds. Lol.
true ames
In my 7'2 Ledge, I started with the AlKali Smalls. Felt like I was dragging a small dog behind me. 70/30 foil, yikesnew to the twin game. was gonna get a set of the gemini 5.45 ones since thats what matt recs. i'll get a set of the fascination ones too.
Put in my NVS Apex upright twins board came alive. Bought some NVS Taylor Knox twins to see how they go, waiting for surfable waves.
On an unrelated note, do you have a set of Knox twins for sale?
Gotta give them a go in some other board before I write them off... Stay tuned.
The GG inspired cheapy AliExpress refoiled fins went the best.
Also tried T1's and Captains Christenson Especial
You might try the new Albums by Shapers (black n white ones). Only ridden a couple times in small surf, but good so far. YMMV. I’ve realized I apparently like a more upright fin than many seem to.new to the twin game. was gonna get a set of the gemini 5.45 ones since thats what matt recs. i'll get a set of the fascination ones too.
