Rusty Twin- Opinions?
- Thread starter manbearpig
- Start date
I have one in 5’9 stock dims
I like it
Can basically go waist high with some push to overhead
Not a groveler so won’t go in total mush
Steepness- no problem at all
I think you have some prior experience with twins so you would probably like it instantly

I’m trying to figure if I’d get the 5’8 or 5’9 stock. What’s your height and weight?
Sounds pretty good.

I've had two. The first was the stock 6'0. It's a really good board. Perfect rocker, fins pulled back. The only thing is that it is more of a hpsb in a twin. It's not a low-end twin, if that's what you're looking for, although with the rocker it will grovel. I just ordered a second one, which is a flat-deck twin. It's wider and thicker and handles the low end much better.
I would highly recommend both, depending on the conditions you're like to surf and your personal preference. One thing for sure, Rusty knows how to make a twin fin.

Yes, I did! It felt very good on the waves I caught. I remember thinking that I would have liked a touch more volume on it, probably width, but that's personal preference. I tend to like added volume, especially on a twin. It was very high performance.
Nice reviews so far.
I really dig the HP twin so it sounds like it's up my alley.
I need to give my CI twin a session or two more, and I think this flatness is making me think too much about boards.

Not a fan of the full rails and volume distribution that seem to be prevalent on a lot of their stock boards.
Stock performance stuff did not feel very performancey.
Not all of them are that way, and yes I've had good ones from them.
When you have several guys shaping under a label I feel you never know what to expect.

Its funny how you avoid the actual truth .
These will keep working and influencing others till I'm gone . ;-)

The couple boards I have had, close to 10 years ago, were blady as fug so maybe things have changed. I haven't seen them on the racks in awhile.casa_mugrienta said:
My SD is so pinched in the rails. In the best way. More so than any other board I have and its for average conditions. Im sure they havent nailed every board but from what I've seen and experienced, they tend to foil their more performance oriented boards much more than some other big labels.casa_mugrienta said:
I've never felt up an SD.
This was just my experience the few times I've been to their warehouse over the past few years.
I can't name all the models I've fondled, but the Mi Amigo and If I remember the Sista Brotha among others were both were too full for me.
