Didn't anyone from the erBB tell Bobby Martinez that you can't surf a twin backside?
- Thread starter jkb
- Start date
As long as the fins are set back, I have no problem going backside on my twin fish. High performance twin I actually like better backside than my thrusters.Funny bezt waves I scored so far since I got my Alpha Omega have been backside up North
Fish Beard has always looked like it works going backside. Noel's review was similar. Noel was ripping on his backhand.
I bet he starts riding more twins. Like Aruka said... it feels like a quad with the brakes off. I got the twin fin bug!
LOL. Twins are so hot right now. As Chandler might say:
twins are having fun!!
It’s funny, coming off thrusters for 20 years, I’ve generally gone from twins back to quads the last couple years. But I do love both. Speed is fun!!

a while ago i was complaining to retodd about twin fishes being weird on the backhand and he said it's not a twin fin thing but a wide tail thing.
and he was right of course. i have a bunch of reasonably narrow twins and they all go great on the backhand.
bobby looks great on that fishbeer. i mean, he always looks great but it looks like he's getting better release off the top than on his quads.

It seems like an easy outline for HPSB thruster guys to jump on without much adjustment and get in on the twin "trend". CI must be selling a ton. I see 1 or 2 of those at every break lately. Maybe the imminent Bobby Quad (Stretch knockoff) may spark a quad "trend" once the CI team surf it all over instagram
I am not so sure about that because all three of my buzz boards: gbuzz, superbuzz, and buzzsaw(most pulled) ride equal fs as bs but might help ride all as quads and may be a thruster thing?
maybe i just suck backside
feels like I overpower wide tailed twins on the backhand. I also had that experience with quad Stamps WTF and to a lesser extent the Stretch Quadfish.
easier for me to finesse the toe edge on a wide tailed board for sure.
Oh over power is different or to me then not being able to ride bs and easy enough to correct by maybe smoking a bowl or two before you go out or not your thing maybe wear front zip vest and trunks over your suitmaybe i just suck backside

Shots I took of Bobby surfing at Rocky Point

bobby could surf a broom in 1 ft onshore slop and his backhand would still look better than mine does on a perfect 6 ft point
Late 70's, single fin days, there was a model called the Rocket Fish. One guy in my hood had one, he ripped and was better than all of us. Lived on the cliff, parents were loaded, I doubt he even surfs any more. Shane Stewart,
