this is the wayAn online purchase, at night, without talking to shaper, is peak yolo cause that sh!t could be a dog and you just spent around a $1,000 on a carbon fiber or resin swirly turd.
It wasn't an album, but I sold one of my asyms and got 80% of what I paid for it.But what if it sucks. What’s the resale percentage on a Asym quad only? 40%?
Yeah beak nose, its an Insanity front end! I haven't surfed an Album board yet that isn't foam friendly. Out of all of my Albums, the rails on the GOAT are the best.The Goat has a beak nose? relatively foam friendly?
You are going to love the skinny Twinsman! Boards look great!medium yolo alert -- i've never ordered TWO customs at once:

5’9” x 18.88” x 2.35” twinsman round pin with beak nose
6’3” x 19.25” x 2.44” moonstone round pin
initial thoughts:
beak nose twinsman carries a LOT more foam up front than my 5'4" version, which is exactly what I wanted. board still feels like a blade underarm despite all the foam-- one of my favorite things about matt's boards
moonstone round pin looks insane as a mini-step; compared to the 6'3 ledge (magic board) that I broke/repaired there's a bit more nose/tail rocker and more curve in the outline + the rails feel more "rippy"
custom ordering process from album was awesome: matt was happy to talk on the phone, they killed it on my color/lamination requests and got everything done in 2 months! now just need to wait for winter...
Ive put that 5’10 goat in my cart 3x and still haven’t checked out. I go and look in the mirror and say, “You’re not spending $1,300 on a fcking board!”

I had RT stock Twinsman, and didn't really get along with it and eventually sold it. And that buyer, eventually sold it. I was hesitant to get similar shapes. Time leads to memory loss, so I tested the waters again. I feel the skinny Twinsman is more versatile, still wants some wave size, but works in more average conditions. The narrower width allows the board to be more sensitive and starts moving quicker and easier in smaller waves with some shape.Sick boards! They look incredible. I have ridden my Twinsmann RP only once in HH OH waves, and ti seems to be a good waves board. Lots of speed, but a little bit sticky if the waves are flat. It needs some push. The moonstone looks incredible as a step up. Now you need some swell!!
Has anyone ridden the Moonstone and the Townsend as a step up to do a comparison??
Boards look sick. Interested to hear how they go.medium yolo alert -- i've never ordered TWO customs at once:

Looking forward to the ride reviews on these boards.
What are you planning on using the Twinsman for? Everyday fun/good waves?
Round pin for sure. Asked for a mid-length for 6 - 12' OB surf. Asked about going the quad route but Matt dissuaded me in favor of a twin.Are you going round pin or swallow on the 7-2?
My 6'7" Townsend is an amazing step up. My 5'6" tmrp was good as well. They're just very, very different boards.... Not sure how to compare them.Sick boards! They look incredible.

You're stocked moonstone looks absolutely ideal for OBRound pin for sure. Asked for a mid-length for 6 - 12' OB surf. Asked about going the quad route but Matt dissuaded me in favor of a twin.
