Every wave he rides I watch and think he'd be surfing that wave better on a Thruster. What I see so far is a good surfer in good waves on shitty boards.

Broccoli twin test

Is that Biolos that sent that? hahhaa. What a prick.Biolos response that
Man, I love a grumpy shaper.
they're all pretty
Craig and Wooly get my vote
Craig most relatable to me, both in dims and surf conditions
I wish broccoli mentioned the fin placement of each board.
This would make his review so much more relevant and people would learn more.

None I prefer watching video(s) of surfer(s) riding board interested in then I make a decision if board is right for me. If I want to hear about ride etc I prefer erbb member(s) feedback and best to talk design with shaper who actually created the board
I like Ciaramella reviews but he's a different human size than me.
Stab, beach grit and tracks mag are a pleasant watch. Skills and conditions displayed not very relatable though.
Salad and Craig hurt my eyes, big time.
Wooly and Broccoli probably most relatable. Broccoli's vanlife and coconut water vibe not so much.

Same.
I like the husky Aussie guy. Is that Craig? He and Broccoli surfing and waves are most relatable.
I don't think any of those 3 guys mentioned have a great handle on design and why things work or don't work. They go off feel- like most us average joes. Feels like the blind leading the blind (as some grumpy shapers might say).
It would be helpful to involve the shaper to explain why things feel a certain way, as Salsa has done a few times with Akila, Tomo, Rusty. Even Yuri did with Album Matt. Even better would be a good surfer who shapes to review boards. Thinking of someone like a Ryan Sakal or Cordell Miller. But I guess that's unlikely as they wouldn't want to be critical of another shapers' boars as the industry is so bro-brah.
Noel looked better on twins in the sense that his surfing wasn't obviously worse than his thruster surfing. Kale surfed the twinsman well, but the other boards looked like he was fighting the twin fin design.
He's about the height and weight I was when I was 12 or 13. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Its not easy being a 6'1, 195 pound surfer in NJ.
No idea why but all of them- including the husky guy- ride ridiculously under-volumed boards and their surfing looks hideous as a result.
Broccoli is by far the best.

I like Noel's breakdown and more analytical approach. Just wish he surfed at different places.
Actually watching this sums up my experience with twins perfectly. So much easy speed, so much fun, but can't pull a decent top turn or cutback to save my life. Mikey Ciaramello seems to have the same experience in his twin reviews.Enjoyed his last board test. This one looks promising...

I like Salsa's direct comparisons to boards I have ridden the most.
Broccoli is my favorite "content creator" of the three.
Gabagool surfs the tail-highest.
