I need a few more surfs on it then will report backTed, can we get a comparison in your words between the Retro and 96? What do you find the advantages of one vs the other, etc?

Your glowing recommendation contributed to convincing me to give it a shotRNF96 is just crazy good. Slop, barrels. Whatever the curves are it’s the golden ratio
deforest tomo golden ratio argument in 3,2,1…RNF96 is just crazy good. Slop, barrels. Whatever the curves are it’s the golden ratio
I’m game. Holla at me.Costco is my landmark
between my trusty RNF retro, newly acquired RNF96, and RNF carver (*shame*), I guess I’ve gone full on RNF fanboi.

I’ve settled on the Rasta set. But they’re on the smaller side of most twin+ sets.Your glowing recommendation contributed to convincing me to give it a shot
oh, and mason ho
what fins you running?
They are all cut from the exact same file on the same machines.I’ve settled on the Rasta set. But they’re on the smaller side of most twin+ sets.
What’s driving me nuts is I want to wave in a light speed, before Lost starts intro’n all the 22 models, and you can still find the RNF in shops/before my PU dies. But I swear every time I fondle one in person all the lightspeeds have slightly wider noses and less tail rocker. Every shop tells me I’m wrong, so 96% chance I’m making it up. Yet it just doesn’t pass the scientific under the arm test. Someone please confirm I’m crazy so I can just buy the eps version and move on?
I would love to reassure you but my experiences with Lost have me willing to believe you are very possibly right.I’ve settled on the Rasta set. But they’re on the smaller side of most twin+ sets.

tbh, I felt the same thing. checked out a bunch of RNF96's in shops before scoring the used one. the PUs definitely felt more refined/foiled in the nose and rail than the Lightspeeds. almost felt like I could go a size down if I were to buy a lightspeed version. you could go custom XTR, or even Varial?I’ve settled on the Rasta set.

Ok the tail rockers are definitely different. That‘s a lightspeed vs xtr. Nose rockers look about the same.tbh, I felt the same thing. checked out a bunch of RNF96's in shops before scoring the used one. the PUs definitely felt more refined/foiled in the nose and rail than the Lightspeeds. almost felt like I could go a size down if I were to buy a lightspeed version. you could go custom XTR, or even Varial?
I'm running Rasta twin+trailer too, and they worked great on the first session
Do you think your mini ghost and RNF have any overlap? I was surprised how much I liked the mg on the rack. Not my usual old man type board.tbh, I felt the same thing. checked out a bunch of RNF96's in shops before scoring the used one. the PUs definitely felt more refined/foiled in the nose and rail than the Lightspeeds. almost felt like I could go a size down if I were to buy a lightspeed version. you could go custom XTR, or even Varial?

They probably do. I haven’t ridden either of them enough to push either end of the range yet.Do you think your mini ghost and RNF have any overlap? I was surprised how much I liked the mg on the rack. Not my usual old man type board.
the nose on the xtr still looks slightly less bulbous than lightspeed to me, but splitting hairsOk the tail rockers are definitely different. That‘s a lightspeed vs xtr.
