I'm looking for a new set of twins and I like the look of them...it's for a performance twin I shaped myself. If anybody has any reviews or thoughts, please let me know! Thanks!

Has anybody tried True Ames Album Twin or RFC Fish Twin Fins?

Looks like True Ames just released a crap load of new fins:
I've been using TA Album twin fins in my R. performance twin fin. They feel good, comparable to the T1s, but with a slightly longer base/more drive down the line. The Aipas are more pivoty.

The Album twin is a well balanced, large twin template, designed for fluid, stylish surfing. These will provide generous amounts of hold on steeper waves while also helping generate speed on smaller softer waves. These twins will compliment any fish outline. They can also be thrown in hybrid...

What board(s) do you ride the Piggybacks in and How do you like them? I'm considering them for a roundtail twin I picked up used. Only ridden it once in small junky waves but could already tell the Akilas were too loose. Don't really want to buy another set of keels since all my twin keels are glass-ons.
Are your fin boxes forward or back? If forward like my AO I would go with glass twin set MR style template. If back looks like upright smaller base I liked the True Ames AMT honeycomb set.
I can't speak on the True Ames Album twins but the NVS Album's are good. Thinner foil on the g10 vs. fiberglass so they're a little lighter and with twangy tips.
I've kinda settled into the Alkali "Ellis" twins, and I think a close second would be the Captain Fin "Tyler Warren Twin Especial," both have plenty of base/rake, and the tips are thin enough to release. I think I'm done buying (hoarding) twin fin sets for a while, hah! I do have a purple set of Jeff McCallum's and set of Jim Phillips for the Stretch 2winfish I've got coming.
i want those ellis twins just for the pretty pink color.
let us know how those McCallums go! they look like a good template to me.
Hah, will do! I've been debating painting the Ellis twins, my buddies have been giving me unlimited "hipster" sh!t for the cute pink color too.
The base/tabs on the Phillips fins are super narrow, where they sit in the box, so they wiggle all around, unless you really crank em down. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed they line up evenly when I try and use them? It looks like Captain fin is sold out of any twin fin in a future base?

Be wary of NVS. I’ve ordered both futures and FCS from them, both had fin box fit issues. Had to sand down the fcs tabs, shim the futures tabs w tape just to get a snug fit. Their customer service is really good thoAlbum Twin - Apex
