three sessions on the twinsman and it just friggen works. I don't think I've even had a wave on my frontside either. You could seriously ride this board in 90 percent of what San Diego has to offer....


but why da fook would I do that? :roflmao:


For those on the fence about trying a twin (especially for the first time) this is the one. Easiest twin I've ever ridden.

I need to get back on it but the plug feels more like a normal loosey goosey twin with a little more reliability in its hold off the bottom and turns. Stamps has more wtf happened kind of moments and Twinsman is easier to ride.

I feel like I’ve done quicker snaps on the plug but overall I surf the Twinsman better. The two aren’t exactly apples to apples due to dims and swallow width alone but I feel like they still fill the same wave range.

I think it comes down topersonal preference. If I had to choose right now and could only ride one it would be the Twinsman. And I LOVE the stamps if that says anything.

i feel this way about it. doesn't have the low end you'd expect given the outline and fairly moderate rocker. stubby thrusters/quads grovel better. twinsman does have good upper end, similar to a HPSB. i've gotten maybe a dozen sessions on the 5-10 varial carbon. mostly been having fun with it. a few wtf moments but mostly due to seriously bad conditions. whenever the waves are fun, it's fun. whether it's a thruster replacement or even a plasmic replacement is still TBD. TA twins feel the best so far. new Shapers twins should arrive soon.
