Album Surfboards

Plasmic is designed for the low end - to help you enjoy gutless surf.

no, it really isn’t.

also, SHOW

no, it really isn’t.

hahah well it works for me ! flys in 2 foot junk

 

[silentbutdeadly]

Winged Lightblender, aka Lightwang. Went 5-10. IDK other dims, that will be his job.

Looking at fins, they recommended Ashers. Any thoughts from folks on what size, there are 2 sizes, 5.5 and 5.79. 5.79s say for bigger dues. I'm 6' 190. Also read positive reviews on the NVS Albums looking back on this long 75% hipster bashing thread. Thanks for any advice.

i like the shapers x album PT upright twin (which is apparently very similar to NVS upright) in LB and TM. Pyzel Bobcats have worked fine too.
At 6’0, 190, you’re practically a giant on the erBB. Go with the larger fins

Blasphemy! Matt Parker ain't got time for no thruster set up...

Seems like most of the newer models the past two years have been thrusters (Freewing, VB SecretMenu, BMW) or quads (BomDia, The End, Vesper, Delma).
Don't really recall the last twin model?? I guess some variations of the Lightblender, Twinsman

Works vs design for are different things.

the last twin song has sung for marketing, imo.

time for another lap around the sun.

AP 5.59s stay in mine, but I’m at 5’10/160, so 5.79s could be the ones for you.

I don't get it

 

[oeste858]

I don't get it

Asher's betrayed us. LOL

Assume he's trying out Margo's thruster:

6'4" BMW

Inspired by Brenden Margieson's surfing in the 90s, the Brenden Margieson weapon was designed with classic on-rail power surfing in mind. Features similar rocker curves to boards from that era, but with modern elements applied in the bottom contours to provide easier speed generation and drive...

ah ok.

Damn that's a well fed surfboard

 

[sdsrfr]

imo, album has wayyyy too many models now. curse of too many team riders.

their success was 3 boards surfed really well by Kerr and AP.

 

[Sauce]

Disagree. Just too many similar models, and who the fug is buying a whale shark? Also can't believe the Ledge isn't offered as a staple

generally agree though i'd suggest the BomDia is a worthy addition to the lineup
