Nothing really new here but…

Board Review: Campbell Brothers Alpha Omega

Is this the fastest twin-fin since the 1970s?

Yesterday I showed this to Malcolm. He hadn't seen it. Overall he was pleased as you would expect. That board was cut in Australia with a file put together in my shop and then finished out by a ghost shaper. Malcolm thought that perhaps the side concave channels, which are put in by hand after the cut, were carried slightly too far forward. Which would perhaps account for sweet spot precision and more push needed issues. Would need to see the board in person to really get a handle on that.

I still have A/O #1 sitting in my racks. Malcom nailed it out of the gate. Sometimes I pull it out and think I should sell it. So far I can't do it.

The last time I had a go at The Holy Brothelhood of the most Distinguished Bonzer you started to cry, so I'll pass this one up.

Those were tears of mirth. Your input is ALWAYS entertaining.


What's the newest shaping spectacular from Kitty Dungeon Surfboards?

Agree with the review but he should have ridden AO with True Ames fiberglass twin set the fins recomended by Malcom I still love my AO no plans on getting rid of her still plenty stocked on her speed

This board blew my mind in some hollow Nicaragua beach break. Did not expect it to work and it’s all I should have ridden (surfed it at the beach break on the last day).

Works really good on hollow waves love going bs on my AO

have AO and it is a really really good feeling board for a specific kind of wave

i have found as long as the wave has curve (even down to like knee high) it goes great, but does not like flat faced waves even if they are bigger; also with the hard rails and lots going on bottom wise not a great board if it is choppy

with that said the feelings and speed i have gotten out of this board in the right conditions are insane. SO much fun to high line and whip around.

So, duffy wasn’t full of chit in his review.

I’ll buy it.

And you know I’ll take good care of it.

Or that Surfline guy is just as full of sh!t as I am.

It kind of looks like he read my review and plagiarized it.

I think Mike Psillakis scraped it at Rhino.

This one here...it made my dik move.

So, my issue with getting a good feel for Duffys old one is when/where I can usually surf, it’s either:
Onshore, choppy, soft, or the wave has serious flat-faced slow sections to navigate… or some combination. Only ridden it twice in non-ideal conditions. Keep waiting for AO-worthy waves. LOL

The thought crossed my mind given the similarities and reference to online chatter.

we got teachers in here - can we get one of those online plagiarism tools running on this?

Blacks

Man, How am I gonna do a 20-min walk each way and fit that into a 30-45 min session? Ain’t got time for that

Also, not trying to fight the crowds there. It's a mad house.

I don't want a twinnie, but that thing is hot!

If you surf blacks you will die… and get a parking ticket.

Nose rocker + thinner forward section = ease of rippage
