I think it would depend of the surfer’s ability level and types of waves surfed. Confirmation bias also plays a big part.
I love listening-in to adult beginner/intermediates proselytizing with their equally inept buddy on how this 1/16” difference of whatever on their “magic” board will be “game changing” to their bend-at-the-waist buddy.
Inquired. He said the winged version would be better for the beachies I surf. It would be 'more spicy'
Wing makes the LB outline a bit more similar to the Twinsman, no?
I realize TM has a flatter deck and the foam is distributed differently. I rarely sarf beachbreak; but I love the LB in the reefs.
Personally, I do like a wing tho… was almost using that to justify talking myself into a carbon swallowtail Twinsman this week. LOL.
Bros, I need less time on a computer and more time in the water.

I think I prefer no wing but I like the way the LB maintains a similar rail line behind the wing compared to the TM which really changes angle.
Am I alone in preferring my plasmic at beach breaks and lightbender at points and reefs?
something I only recently noticed but I think I don’t like the plasmic as much on open faces but maybe bc I’ve been running pivot templates all summer.

Makes sense as Plasmic tighter turning radius. imho
I still like the Plasmic in wedging reef up to HH, but it doesn’t like to draw out turns as much as LB or TMRP
My go-tos at the moment, are a 5' 4" Plasmic, 5' 4" Will's fish, and 5' 8" Twinsman, with the Plasmic being the one that I grab the most. For a relatively new board, I am beating the **** out of it. The pitchier the wave, the more I prefer the Twinsman, as I don't need the speed generation that Plasmic creates. I love the playfulness of the Plasmic and when starting in the whitewater it gets you out of that back in the greenwater so well, and the Twinsman feels like this in the better wave. The Will's fish falls somewhere in-between.
I sold the 5' 10" roundtail Twinsman, preferred the shorter swallowtail. I am debating my next YOLO, I kind of want to try even shorter, narrower Plasmic owing to the pure fun factor.

What are your human dims to go along with your 5’4 plasmic? Considering a plasmic yolo myself. The guys at album were recommending a stock 5’6” for me at 6’1 and 190 lb.
I really like that color. Too bad it's too small for me
Although, $1,300 for a tiny PU board. Man....
Friday Night’s Pizza Night; yeah baby!!
If that board is $1300 PU, you fools are idiots to buy it. IMO
Its crazy that a Varial or XTR is hundreds cheaper than a PU from Albums site
