I had a great session there a few years ago! There was this super fun bowl/wedge on the inside.

this one looks wild. it's been listed for a while. i love my symphony and it's hard to imagine what an 8 foot version would ride like.

I was thinking by reducing some tail area/volume I might gain a little leverage/control.
Thank you! Glass and color turned out really nice.
No discernible marking indicating where they were glassed.
I was emphatic that I wanted a butterfly patch over the fins on all 3 boards though.
@Duffy LaCoronilla Are you still loving these G Pangs on the plasmic? I'm asking because I took your advice on the BMT's for my townsend (6'4") and am loving it.
I just received my Plasmic (5'4" 20" 2-3/8" at 175lbs) that I ordered from the Varial sale in December. The board feels great under arm and in the water but I'm not sure about fins for smaller waves yet. Any advice?
BMT's felt okay in tiny surf but a bit big/stiff especially backside.
Mollusk Radio Twins felt pretty good in better (but still small) surf but a little slippery (they might be great in better surf but not quite in love with them for groveling).

Apparently usedsurf.com will let you demo a few fins for 30 days if you pay shipping. That's my plan but I'd love some insight.
Thanks for your trouble

The Pangs are big fins (not as big as BMTs) and I’m 30 pounds heavier than you. Before those I was using the son of cobra twins which I also liked.
Still like the Pangs as well.
If you like the BMT's but want a fin with less surface area and more upright so will be feistier in smaller waves look at the 2 different sizes in the Shapers Asher Pacey twins.

I’ve had some QC issues with Shapers’ fins. Nothing major, but had to use some 400 & 800 grit wet/dry to get out some surface imperfections.If you like the BMT's but want a fin with less surface area and more upright so will be feistier in smaller waves look at the 2 different sizes in the Shapers Asher Pacey twins.

I love the BMT’s in my 5’6” Stamps Kai-Zen twin. I’m 6’ 170 and while it is a huge fin, I can whip it around pretty easily. It is a little tricky to get to slide, but the inherent drive is what I’m after. It’s still easy to get the fins to release in the lip and the positive connection off the bottom FS & BS has made me not want to try anything else.
I have an FCSII set and they weren’t a fave in my last three twins. They’re all HP twins and the Christenson set felt a bit too cruisey under my feet. They felt like they had some weird lag when I was trying to link some quick turns together.
I rode my AP 5.59s for the first time in my Plasmic the other day in knee-waist slop and they were spicy! Felt even better than the Elmores I’ve had in it for a while. Interested to see how they go in better surf, but I could easily see them becoming a new favorite.
The AP have slightly more rake than the Elmore? looks that way from a quick check
Both look very upright
Both look very upright
The shapes are almost identical. The AP 5.59 has smaller tip and slightly less area overall. I don’t remember seeing any difference in rake, but there may be an ever so slight one.
Just when you were wondering what to spend your tax return money on:
