yeah, the fins do look deadly. Although the album NVS fascination twins (which are great fins) in futures probably terrify me more. That sharp point created at the base by the cutaway AND the fin is in G10... The only leash I've ever broken was with those fins and I'm convinced I must've cut the leash on the fins.

If this doesn't sum up my style I don't know what does

broz its about a lifestyle and not just about surfboars
After many Album's here is my attempt to list them in order of preference. Overall I've liked most of them. Some of them quite a lot. The Plasmic is the pretty clear winner after riding the crap out of it last year in a wide variety of waves. Haven't had the 6-11 Plasmid for long enough to really rate it but I like it so far. Symphony and 5-10 Twinsman need more sessions and could move up or down the list, depending. Only the Bpunt and the 6-0 Twinsman were pretty unremarkable for me. Bpunt is meant to be ridden as a Twin/Trailer but it needs a real wave and I'd rather be on a thruster in bigger surf. Rocker felt just a little flat too. 6-0 twinsman was just too big for me. Probably my least favorite Album so far. I was able to sell it for barely less than what I paid and then picked up the 5-10 twinsman from @j_mac which I like much better so it all worked out in the end.

Would be great to know what fins you like on each board!! Plasmic is such a sick board!
You need to add a Disorder to this list.
Board seriously rips as an all-arounder.
Its range has surprised me both on the low and high end.
I want an Album back in my life. My 5’6 Twinsman’s low end left a lot to be desired. Any downside going for a pointy nose Disorder rather than the asym nose? I think the asym nose would bug me. Even the stupid offset carbon thread line on my early Chilli’s bugged.
that's my issue with the Disorder. maybe it wouldn't bother me to have an asym nose but just looking at the outline of most asyms doesn't bring me joy. the Bom Dia is the first one that's had me interested in an asym in a while. i don't doubt the concept. my asym townsend was great.
