Shout out to D Street!I thought the takeaway was that beach breaks were for 13 year olds who get dropped off by their mom to go surfing.
I like mine in BB too, but it's OB. Typically not as fast and dumpy as a NCSD BB. I'm 6'3 and riding a 5'7. Compared to boars I'm used to, it's super snappy, pivoty, and goes vert easy. I'm slicing and dicing on this thing. Maybe the other posters were riding boards too long for their height
You definitely have to surf it hard off the tail or the front end will dig in tight hollow pocket.
this hurts a littleI thought the takeaway was that beach breaks were for 13 year olds who get dropped off by their mom to go surfing.
9 1/4" from tip of tail to rear edge of fin box slot
I typically really like short chunky boards but usually close to my normal volume. I have faith that I’m gonna love the shorter og plasmic but time will tell.Shout out to D Street!

6-2 Plasmic Blunt. Was worried about it being thick all the way to the nose, like my standard Plasmic, but its pleasantly thin. Incognito lams. Fin boxes an inch further up than my shorter Plasmic. Pretty stocked how it came out.

My alpha omega pu/epoxy s glass has this issue but I liked the color so no real issue
First dibs when you get tired of it! Looks great! The blue Varial Lightbender is fantastic. I’m gonna have to consult you before next order.

Fin recomendations on a shorter swallow tail Twinsman? Yolo'd a 5'6" Varial Twinsman that arrived last week. Started with the Asher Pacey 5.59s I already had and seems like it lacks in the drive department/ slides too much. Was looking at the Album NVS uprights but the base doesnt seem all that much bigger?
I tried a lot of different fins in my TM, these NVS ones went best. Are these the uprights? I'm 6'1 x 195 and riding a stock 5'8.

Album Twin - Apex
The Album twin is a well balanced, large twin template, designed for fluid, stylish surfing. These will provide generous amounts of hold on steeper waves while also helping generate speed on smaller softer waves. These twins will compliment any fish outline. They can also be thrown in hybrid...

I think those are the one's @JonnyAvenues is referencing @racer1 . I dig them in my Lightbender. I'm still playing with fins in my Twinsman. I liked the NVS Album but they felt a little small. 6'3 x 180lbs. on a 5-10. I will probably go back to them again now that I'm getting more used to the board. NVS Fascination template felt better than expected. Loved the stability and drive and didn't feel tracky but they definitely drew the turns out a bit. Would like something that would keep the stability but pivot off the bottom a bit quicker. Kinda tempted to try the NVS Doc Tallboy but suspect they are a bit big.
@oeste858 is a generous dude! he's letting me borrow his lightbladder and aipa fish for my mini ghost. or... is he recruiting us to hide his ever-expanding quiver from the wife??
gonna wait for some waves this weekend/next week to try the lightbladder, but if I like it, I'm gonna order a thiccc boy dims 5'8
yeah he's awesome. it's really nice trying something before throwing down some coin.
That lightbender is gorgeous in every way. I wouldn't mind giving it a go some day.
If he's hiding them from the wife he just needs to put masking tape with someone else's name on the board bag. See honey, those aren't mine!

Tedshred5 and SBD garages are now locations 4 and 5 for boar storage. Can’t believe they figured that out. Great idea about labeling the bags with random names! Stocked to trade, try different boars, and compare notes. Most of my friends that sarf could care less about boar design. I’m out here tryin to do my own research!
