Long fish - twin or quad and why?

[tedshred5]

Been kicking around the idea for awhile of one in the 6'2-6'6 range, for crowded points in my area. Which fin setup would you choose?

Would think a Long Fish is in the 7oh plus range. I have a 7oh quad Mitsven and a 8oh KG/Mabile Twinzer and fun boards.

Twinzer, and maybe 1 foot to that board.

I've got a 6'11 quad. I surf beachbreaks pretty exclusively. For points I would look at a twin keel.

Kook. Putting out the word.

Burn anyone on a long fish.

I have a 8' twin fin long fish. Super fun. It's replaced my longboard, as it works in 1ft or bigger. I love it. I've used it in 1ft Malibu to 5 ft Porto. So fun.

I was born there but moved to California when I was three, 45 years ago. Maybe my accent gives me away?

I don't have a long fish. I've got a 7'2 mini glider shaped by Eric Christenson. But it's a twinzer. Such a fun board. Perfect sled for Havoc's local. The full dims are 7'2, 22, 3. But it's foiled down like a mutha.

I've always wanted a long fish twinzer. Mabile has made some that look great. I bet Stu could make a mean one, as well as EC and Stamps.

mini glider sounds awesome. Got any pitchers?

Stumps is stocked on his long fish that he rides

This is a 6'10" Apollo Twin from BSD. This past season have had it out in waist high to DOH - board just works amazing.

Actually, I think that while mine is a twin, it's not a fish. I mean, it's like a LB in the front, fish in the back. It's like a mullet.

Yup!

Last pic shows how bladed out it is. I should do a side by side of my flat deck, full rail board from Stamps at 2 5/16 v. this 3” EC. It’s pretty funny because the EC is thinner.

6'8 mackie twin. Have been riding this non stop since getting it.

 

[silentbutdeadly]

Yup!
