Your not alone, and maybe yours is a dud, but I don't even bother taking mine out unless there is a t least a possibility that there are some sections standing up, otherwise you are just asking for disappointment. But in the right curvy conditions, i'm generally stoked like "wow, thats the most fun Ive had in a long time." May want to play with fins as well. I would give it another chance before offing it.I found out why the Twinsman needs a good wave! The board is so slow that's the only way it will work.
Still haven't clicked with it and I think its the bottom concave. It's a pretty basic bottom. Nothing really special about it and it doesn't really plane that well. For a twin fin I feel like it lacks glide. Maybe if it had a little more concave out the tail? Maybe its because its a 5'3? Idk.
I did like it better with the Album Fascination fins vs. the Album Twins but that's about it.
It's a demo? Take it back and try a longer one. If that's no bueno why not ask them to suggest another demo board that would be better?Me too. @tedshred5
After looking again, the twinsman does have a good amount of tail rocker. But the hull just doesn't have that feeling of "glide" that most twin fins have. I don't think that has as much to do with the tail as it does with the bottom. 5'3 is pretty small so it may just be the one i have. Once you subtract the loss of area from the swallow tail, it makes the design even smaller... so I'm actually probably riding on the surface area of a board that is 5'2 or 5'1. That might be why i'm not liking it that much.
Already ahead of you. Indeed its a demo. But most of the other ones are for larger gentlemen. However, they do have a Red Tiger that is my size (5'7" | 18 7/8" | 2 3/16" | 25.10L). I'm gonna see if I can swap out the Twinsman for that one.
try a sunstone, it's more to ur abilities. easier speed in crappy oceanside waves. inland empire ftw!I found out why the Twinsman needs a good wave! The board is so slow that's the only way it will work.

I had two TMs that sucked. Both were non-standard dims.
People buy them thinking they will surf like a fish. I’ve had quite a few people ask me why I have upright twins on “fish” instead of keels - referring to my TM.
Yup.
only aruka has the leg power to push the fascination twins
I have a Varial moonie and I’ve never once said to myself “gee, I wish this had pizza stain poly construction”
I dunno man. A couple artfully placed jizz ropes across the deck... [chef's kiss] really gets ya in the Asher headspace.
