RNF '96 or Twinsman?

[morrisone]

In case you have surfed both, what is your opinion? In what conditions did you ride them?

 

[tcureton]

Haven’t ridden twinsman but from reviews here it sounds like it needs a decent wave or at least one with push. I have the 96 and have ridden it from below waist to 2 feet overhead east coast scale. I love it! It works so well as a board I can bring knowing it will work in about anything I’ll come across. I would buy another one if that means anything. Doesn’t seem like you can go wrong with either though

I love the rnf 96. Really works in everything and I would also buy another. Never ridden a twinsman

RNF - better lower end

TM - better upper end

Just buy both.

RNF - better lower end

TM - better upper end

Just buy both.

This is the way

 

[JDJ]

Agreed. Two different borts with room for both in your quiver.

I recently purchased an RNF 96 and I love it. Never surfed a twinsman.

RNF96 will have more range IMO

 

[nowayout]

Maybe you should be comparing the RNF96 to the Lightbender

RNF96 will have more range IMO

Depends on which direction your range is going.

Depends on which direction your range is going.

true. I'd venture to say most people's range goes the other way from Josh Kerr in Indo.

10 foot Rifles on a 5’4 twin = no thanks

I want to be Tosh Kerren when I grow up.

fixed for me

He’s a small dude so…

1. A 5’4 is a normally sized TM for him.

2. That’s not 10 foot.

 

[tedshred5]

not 10 foot either

 

[racer1]

Ridden both.

RNF 96 by far the more dependable and fun board.

Twinsman will do the most outrageous turn you‘ve ever done, but then bog on the easiest turn. Confusing board.

Have ridden the RNF96 in overhead barrels and it handles.

 

[spjones123]

unless he’s 3ft tall that’s 10ft adjacent

 

[morrisone]

Thanks for the input so far and the 10 foot hijack .
Will probably go for the RNF 96 in XTR.

Have not ridden any of those boards, but my friend has a Twinsman and it usually stays in the car, so probably a board for better waves.
