Scooped up a stretched out 6’6” asym Plasmic twin fin off CL. Anyone else riding one? Any recs on fins? Is anyone mixing and matching different fins on toe vs heel side?

6’7 Townsend is my only asym and I run the Album x Shapers performance twin fins (which are apparently meant for Townsend and Twinsman). Goes great; highly doubt I could tell difference with an asym twin set. I’ve also used them in 6’4 PlasmEgg too.
I would message album for fin recs

I’ve liked a lot of different fins in my albums.
Usually in the 20-21 sq-in sizes and pivot templates.
i think the boars pretty friendly to fins and you will either like them or you won’t. at least my experience on the fishy sized ones.

Matt must be scoping out my feedback on my diamond. Move over Yuri.
yeah, can a brother get a clear pu sub-$1k twinsman or lightbender
Yeah, you were just too slow when Bird Rock Surf shop had them OTR!
Still blows my mind that it was cheaper through a retail channel than direct from album. LOL
yeah, probably the route i'll go if I dig Oeste's lightbladder after we wife swap
i tried to go back and yolo the 5'8 lightspeed RNF96 they had in the shop, but that got sold beforehand too. #tooslowtothedraw
@trifish - which XTR glassing option did you go with? Are you happy with the weight and overall finish?
I always go with 8.C. It never steers me wrong. Lighter than PU but not to the point of being crazy light. Their finishes have never been a problem for me other than their Gray's turning out purple. I like their faux resin add on. Cheap upgrade that makes the overall finish look better. I used to only go white, but they started yellowing on me so now I only order color. I'd say their finishes are not wall hangers, but are solid for guys that use there boards a lot. No complaints here.
Oh BTW, you can send them an image also to help with coloring. The times I've done that the finish was much more what I was expecting color wise.
Fins not at the standard 11 - 3 1/2 Maybe 
Incut adding pressure on the wing too .

Regarding finish I agree with what’s said here. Got the faux resin tint on my Plasmic the rail band was not perfectly symmetric and it looked like there were some pencil marks or imperfections on the board in some places. All cosmetic stuff that no one would notice unless you really inspected it.
I got the 8.0 glassing with a wood stringer and liked it. Maybe a tad lighter than PU. Quite durable compared to how I put pressures all over my PU boards but not completely pressure dent resistant.
I thought XTRs customer service was great and they were super responsive to emails.
My XTR Twinsman came out to $1,050 with shipping to Hawaii, carbon stringer and airbrush.
Pretty sure clear PU is $900 on Album surf currently -- has been for a couple weeks.
Saw that and the cynic in me thought they just needed to find a way to fit his new futures thruster fin set in a Twinsman… which Futures unfortunately released right as he switched to Album and started riding mostly twins. LOLFins not at the standard 11 - 3 1/2 Maybe
