haha I can't get on your level @waxurDyl ! I can't remember who, but someone here had a 2-board order from XTR - a RP Twinsman and a Lightbender - and it looked perfect to me

I would think the round pin changes the model a decent bit. I've had a couple waves with softer/chunkier sections where it was not turning as freely as the swallow would've.
edit: some of the issues DLS was bringing up with Matt on the Twinsman pod wouldn't apply to the standard swallow tail.

Don't plan to surf the 6'1 RP below chest-high, really a mini-step for me (at 6' tall) and it held great in the rounder OH waves

DLS kinda implied similar of his, that it was stiff and not as free as he expected.

Meh, I ride mine down to waist no problem. It has more volume than my lightbender so that defintiely helps. It also has way more carry when its on rail, so as long as you're not surfing it flat, I think it actually has a better bottom end.

Any of you guys try a Moonstone? Maybe not so mid lengthy in terms of sizing, but bumped a bit over your regular fish size

That’s the longfish/ step-up fish? Thankfully someone bought the 7’0 from the local shop a couple months ago. It was a bit bigger than I would want, but the more I saw it, the more it was callin’ me. Looking at a 6’8-10 longfish or Townsend to replace my 7’2 singlefin some point this year.

Yeh, thats the one. Step up fish. Was going down a rabbit hole with step up fish earlier. Wonder how this one goes in comparison to a Townsend. Especially sized more like a step up than a longer mid length.

I don't really need anything else, just browsing...you know how it goes :D

I'm also curious about a moosntone. My 6'10 Townsend is so nimble that I'm curious what a 6'5" Moonstone would be like. Guys at the shop said its even more agile and rockered than the townsend. They said Kerzy absolutely loves the moonstone.

If I didn't have an Album about to be done I'd pick that up.
