Please post a pic when you get it. :p What size did you go with and how big are you?
6’0/ 165 lbs

fish dims 5’5” / 20” / 2.15”

thickness seems crazy low but it’s a flat deck so comes out to 28.7 liters

I went narrower than standard dims because I didn’t want it to be too extreme of a change from my R twin fin and other short boards which are closer to 19” wide

dreaming of an R. Hustler/Barking Spider combo to supplement the Twin Fin now..
dedicated quad/dedicated tri to go with the dedicated twin - make things simple

So will it come with a leash plug, or are you supposed to loop one around that little bar at the top of the tail?

I know a lot of folks choose not to run a leash on a Fish, but I prefer leashes on all my boards.

leash plug

I will go leashless on longboards and midlengths where you would walk the board but not on shortboards.

I hope the fish police don’t get me:)

Resin loop is the leash plug. your good. its a nice more premium touch to a that retro boar type imo

Nice one, Ted. I have a Rusty twin and have owned another that I beat to crap. Man knows his way around a twin fin.

Anyone have an R order come in recently?

Just wondering if there’s a backlog

When I put in my order at the end of April they were saying 2-4 week turnaround but it’s going on 6 weeks now and haven’t heard anything

i’ll probably give the shop a call if I don’t hear in a couple of days but just curious

I don’t know man. I’ve heard here that if you inquire about the status of your custom you’re an esshole and you should just keep your mouth shut and be happy if You get it at all. Be cool bro.

I think I have a solution. I will just call my estate lawyer and have it written into my will so my heirs can claim it, but I will have him write it so that they can only call the shop after three generations have passed and if they spend $30 billion in thirty days first.

Tried these this morning, gave a little more drive down the line than the Aipas, but not too tracky either. Have yet to slide out backside with either fin set! (Maybe just due to not being able to turn hard enough :p) A+++ twinny by R.

Like it! Looks like we may have a swell this Thursday, I might run my Rusty Twin with C-Drives and see how that goes...R&D!!

And just adding I am loving the Hatchet, what a great board!
