Album Surfboards

I don’t mind the heel side quads but as a set I agree, they’re pretty average. That toeside twin just doesn’t work for me, no drive and slides all over the place. Far too easy to overpower.
Salty Merchants upright twin (pretty huge fin) with Album quad on heel works great. Christenson keel also worked fine.
This is the best asym set I've tried:
Yeah, I pushed right through the Album toe side no matter how much I tried to nurse it.
Might try my Merrick keel.

Ryan Burch fins.
I don't think you can get them unless you order a board.
Still the best set I've tried so far.

The Stretch quads heel side went best with a longer base twin fin too, for me on my Fascination. Agree the TA Album asym set feels squirrelly
few more thoughts on the plasmic in fairly mediocre late spring surf -
fins: CC uprights, NVS album, CF Elmore
CC felt too stiff unless standing all the way back, which is a bit of a shuffle when you’re throwing cheater 5 ninja poses on a slow reef peeler that finally hits the bowl section you want to hit. They kinda turn the board into a keel fish but I want to give these another go as they were the first set I tried.
NVS had some twang off the top and way less stiff than CC set. But the fins feel way different coming around, maybe it’s the NACA foil im noticing? Didn’t dislike but still wanted to try other sets.
Elmores are good and loose but less squirts of speed and shooting out in front of the foam ball is no longer assumed. Let you surf in the pocket, and really tag the first section instead of its tapering shoulder but had issues yesterday setting up the second hit, seemed like I was losing tons of drive coming off the bottom after the first cutback, but maybe it was just the wave fattening up, or just my surfing of the day, but it was incredibly frustrating to bog the rail a few waves in a row following a very satisfying first turn.

For those of you still tuned in, I tried the AMT set in the twinsman and well damn if it isn't the funnest yet.
Top 3: AMT, Stretch Twin and Album Apex.
I also got a set coming from Florida that I'm excited about.

Did GG agree to mod your EN's?
Dibs if you don't like them and I can't get him to do mine.
I think it's unpossible to dislike coco
