What's the deal with the BPUNT? Can't seem to find any information about it anywhere but looks like the type of thing I would enjoy6'4 x 20.25 x 2.56 Bullet twin, 6'6 x 19.6 x 2.6 BpuntView attachment 115584View attachment 115585View attachment 115586
I haven't ridden mine yet. Been waiting for some solid swell. Matt told me he rode it as a twin+trailer, even in bigger surf. To me the rear end looks a lot like my Insanity. I think the tail width is nearly the same between my 6-6 Bpunt and my 6-2 Insanity. The front half is more refined than the Insanity w/ out a beak nose and overall a little narrower/thinner while still carrying some foam. It looks like it has a little more rocker up front as well but overall it appears to have fairly moderate rocker for a step up type board. I think it will go well in big point surf or kind of rolling reef type waves where you need to cover some ground. I'll update this thread once I've gotten a proper session or two on it.What's the deal with the BPUNT?

Cool, cheers for that. Would love to hear a review once you've had a go with it.I haven't ridden mine yet. Been waiting for some solid swell.

I also recently got a Bpunt. I got it for a local reef break that works when the waves are bigger. The waves are slopey and then pitch up quickly. Even though it is a reef break, the breaking location does vary a bit. I wanted a board that could paddle, provide hold, and still be fun on the wave face - ie do it all - haha! I have surfed 5-6 times now. It is the right board for the break, especially as the size increases. I have surfed it as a twin plus trailer, and a thruster, I have been gravitating more toward the standard thruster set-up at the moment. This could easily change with more time on the board. Like you, I didn't want a wide board. So far it has been a winner!Cool, cheers for that. Would love to hear a review once you've had a go with it.
I was toying with the idea of getting a Moonstone as a fishy step up but the Bpunt looks like it might be a bit better. I like that it has three fin boxes so you could go thruster if you wanted.
Both the Moonstone and Bpunt look like refined versions of the Nautilus to me. I had a Nautty but sold it because I didn't really like how wide it was at a step up size for me.

I'd probably lean toward the 5'10. I ride 27-28L HPSB's (I'm 6' and 165ish) and I got the stock 5'6 Twinsman and would not want any more foam. If you haven't felt one up in person, the chunk is pretty alarming. It was the first board I've ordered that I didn't have a general "feel" for what to expect.Hey Guys, I was hoping you can give me some advice? I'm going to order a twinsman but not quite sure what size to get? My current HPSB's are around 31-32litrs (5'11-6'0) small wave board is DHD Pheonix 5'9 33Ltrs (MR Twin + trailer). I'm 46, 5'9 & 169 pounds, and an experienced surfer. Tossing up between the stock 5'9 x 19'7/8 x 2/38 33.4 Liters or the 5'10 x 20 x 2 7/16 34.4 litres. Not sure if I need to go more volume and length or stick to the dims closer to the DHD which I love to ride.
Thanks Chase, do mean you I should lean towards the 5'9 as you said your 5'6 at 2 litre more than the Hayden has heaps of foam and you would not want any more foam than the 5'6??I'd probably lean toward the 5'10. I ride 27-28L HPSB's (I'm 6' and 165ish) and I got the stock 5'6 Twinsman and would not want any more foam. If you haven't felt one up in person, the chunk is pretty alarming. It was the first board I've ordered that I didn't have a general "feel" for what to expect.
I was back on a favorite of mine this am (Twinsman is in the shop), a 5'8 Haydenshapes' Psychedelic Germ. At 27.9L, I couldn't believe how thin the Psych Germ felt in comparison. I felt like I was also sitting really deep in the water after having ridden the Twinsman exclusively for almost two months, and that being about 2L more.
Thanks Aruka, that what I was leaning towards but just wanted to make sure, considering the $$$$$@hutchoman I would lean towards the smaller one. The flat deck packs a ton of foam. If I was to reorder a twinsman I would shoot for around my HPSB literage instead of going up a couple liters like I did.
