Yeah the outline is very straight and that wing on it seems like an insult. Thanks for the review.You mean the Maurice Cole Twin Pin?
Had a 6'7 for awhile. Worked well in overhead surf. The forward vee works great in getting into waves very smooth. Easy to stick drops.
Didn't like it so much in smaller waves. The rear end feels very drawn out and makes the board project more than pivot. Something about that drawn tail and the overall outline that I didn't really jibe with.
Also, mine at least was glassed pretty lightly. For a board like this, I would have preferred a little more heft but I bought it used from an erBB member and was happy as it was exactly what I wanted at the time.
Overall it's a good board, I just prefer something with a little more curve overall vs the sort of straight bullet outline. A little more curve in the tail area would help.

Interesting assessment on the Tur Twin. I have a shorter Tur Twin (6'4") that I ride all the time and works great in most conditions, big and small. But now that you mention it, I have noticed that I sometimes blow steep/quick drops on that board. I always just chalked it up to user error - getting older and slower. But I sometimes do question it, thinking to myself "how did I not make that drop ... WTF." Maybe you are onto something. Still a great board though, in most So Cal conditions.I suspect it would be a much better board without the wing and a wider more rounded tail, much like the Tur Twin or the diamond tail version of the board.
Biggest issues with the Tur Twin is that it is very flat under the front foot and a little forward and tends to catch. There's more rocker in the nose but it's too far forward to really matter. If you moved the rocker apex back on this, I think it would be much better.
That's my arm chair shaping for you.
