Holy sh!t!

The smallest they have is a 6'0 at 35L?

Mongo dims.

yeah, well, I was told to go from 5'10 TMST to a 6'4 or 6'6 Vespa so apparently they intend it as a cheater almost mid/stap… so I’m now thinking it may be most similar to a plasmid (also with that magic channel) but the swallow would hold a bit more in better surf

I only have a few sessions on it. But stock/no wing Lightbender with 5.59 fins is super fun

Nice! The 5.59s go really well for me in the LB, Plasmic and even my 6’2 Moonstone. I bought 2 sets of them so I didn’t have to swap them out of boards so often

I didn't ask for Vespa dims, that was more a feeler for what step recs would be. Twinsman at 6'4 (my height) would imagine 6'8 would be in my realm. With a 6'10 Moonstone (still waiting to get dialed after months of dreary surf) think Vespre would be too much overlap. Still as nice as they look, and the Magic channel, and presumably low rails, this will sound blasphemous, most of the Margo footage looks kinda catchy. Probably like mid lengths the feel better (in the right conditions) than then look on video.
Looks like that channel and Margo are involved with Th Delma, any reports on this?

6'3" Delma

The first batch and result of early development between Matt and Margo. An easy paddler that gets up to speed faster and with less effort than any of our models. Features the Plasmic's double-barrel concave that generates speed in just about anything. Similar concept to the Vesper, but with a...

I felt one up. Really interesting. The swallow is soooo deep. Kid at the shop mentioned the deep swallow kinda allows the tail to flex a bit more through turns. Seems like a great board for bigger dudes.

I heard these plates pair perfectly with the AP sunstone. Only question is should I get them in Dark Arts or Varial?

ok now he's fvcking with us

Good for him for charging as much as the market will pay for little plates. #supportyourlocalplatemaker
I actually like the plates more than the jizz ropes on the boars. LOL

Quick thanks to everyone who said to put CCkeels in the moonstone...surfed it in knee to waist high peelers this am and it went unreal...realizing that I was fighting the upright fins I was running. Actually looser and way more drive...

Ok fine. I’ve been convincing myself I didn’t need to buy them…

So far I’ve owned a 5’5 plasmic, 5’7 lightbender, 5’8 twinsman and 6’3 moonie. Sold off the lightbender.

plasmic is the far ahead winner for smiles and always ends up in the truck.

wouldn’t mind trying a lightbender in Varial but I think it would still significantly overlap with the plasmic/twinsman or plasmic/moonstone combos.

 

[Aruka]

Plasmic east and lightbender pretty much directly overlap. Basically same nose/tail widths in similar dims. LB is more fishy, drivey and front footed. Plasmic is more pivotal and rippy and rear footed. Hard to beat the magic channel in the Plasmic but I have some great memories surfing the LB in all sorts of different waves.

 

[menobrah]

Moonys been my dd for almost a year...figure I should get a plasmic and and tman and be done with buying boards for a while.

Has anyone asked them what the new Victor Secret Menu is/deets?

I have a 5' 9" coming here soon, though I traveling later this week so it might have to sit at their shop until return in 2 weeks. I was considering getting a shorter BomDia or Freewing, and the Secret Menu came up as having more rocker than both of them, though still CA rocker.

Are the dimensions similar to the Bom Dia? width and volume at a given length

Asym or sym?

Thruster or quad?

This is what Matt said....
"It's ridden in what would be pretty standard SB dims - Victor rides it 5'9"-5'10" x 18.75"-19" x 2.44"
He's 5'9" 170 lbs,
has more of a california rocker, deep concave under the hood
slight beak nose snuck into an HP shortboard
tri fin / squash tail - have done a couple round tails for him too"

Based on this I asked Matt and let him adjust based on prior boards that work for me...
"If it is SB dims, I am thinking 5’ 9”x19”ish up to 19.25”, and if it is foiled then around 2.5” thick. Around 30L works well for me."

@jkb - symmetric, thruster

 

[Jack-the-Ripper]

Looking at a used Twinsman. 5'9 x 19.88 x 2.44 33L. Regular shortboard sits around 6'1 and 31L. Pull the trigger?
