The rooster spur on those are scary AF.
I had those Alkali's with a 80/20 ish foil.
No thank you, feels of dragging kelp
I was at xtr other day believe I saw your tm it was pink with gothic album logo on nose of deck pointing forwardGetting horny for my XTR TM that should be shipping this week. On the order card I asked for red with minimal logos, then I asked to change it to blue so it’ll probably be purple that’s actually grey with an album retro rave logo.
Horny-bought these large twins to try too, although I love the upright NVS set in my Varial TM:

My moonstone's rising in the ranks fast. That opening drawn out bottom to top turn carve at the lip is so tasty on it. Board is feeling really good now that I got it all figured out.

these did not outrun the pocket and felt really stable but feels like:
Tough one to answer...especially the twin version
They have different foam distribution. The Insanity is narrower and longer. I feel the Insanity has a bit more performance with its curvier outline and slightly narrower tail. So far I tend to prefer quads in the Insanity. I had good surfs with the twin plus trailer, a bit looser and more pivot, but the quads give more speed, hold, and still turns well. I assume the Insanity Twin will have the fins farther back. I like the Insanity and it is a board that changed directions for me. I think Insanity Twin would be fun and would be curious about it, especially knowing more about the fin location (I would ask about this)!
With that said, I am enjoying the Bullet Twin which is more foiled, more performance, flattish rocker, splitting hairs with rockers amongst these boards. I had stellar surf on it this weekend in head high, waves that pitch up quickly on a rock reef. I tend to like a little more length for this type of wave, but didn't know it was going to be so good. Probably of one my better surfs on this wave, the Bullet Twin was catching waves with ease and handling the size. I am surprised the Bullet Twins are still lingering on the album website.
i would be more interested in the Insanity Twin if it didn't have the wing. seems like direct overlap with the Twinsman, regardless of how different the foam flow is.
The outline on the board in the beginning, as well as Josh's black one seem quite a bit different than what's being sold on the site right now. I think an insanity quad would go insane (in the pulled in, non wing outline)
Wonder if the Twins work better with the wing? it seems many have them or bump if a twin, except if they are round tail

Matt brings you... The Freewing.

Description
The result of Matt and Jack Freestone collaborating over the last year. Designed as a twin trailer, but can also be ridden as a thruster. Good amount of entry rocker with some extra flip off the tail. Single concave through the center, transitioning to a mellow double through the fins and vee off the tail, making for fast and smooth rail to rail transition. Features a modern performance rail with a wing squash tail for maneuverability.
Now someone go YOLO one of these so we can get the real scoop. The ones on the site are too petite for me.

My wingless rp insanity twin is t!ts. It's small wave tuned (wider nose and tail) and probably 2-3liters more than necessary, but fug a crowd.
I just started figuring out it wants to be surfed a little more aggressively---not necessarily more spastic/more turns, but the harder you push thru turns the more the reward.
The twinsman looks so fun and i was on the fence between the 2, but that reduction in tail area from the wing made me nervous for true sh*t waves. Matt also said the small wave insanity (punksanity) was a little more in line with my approach---less vertical rippy, more carvey.

I still suspect it’s a cynical ploy so Jack can be photographed riding his new thruster set for futures in a Twinsman, instead of only album twins
I like how he used his thruster fins in the Disorder - made me consider them - haha!
I have had both. Still have these ones, the Ellis twins just didn’t work for me.
Jack just posted five days ago that a new Disorder asym twin was his new fave. Disconnected marketing lesson 101.Matt brings you... The Freewing.
