We'll be doing turns like this soon! :grin:

BTW, when the new custom comes, I'll likely pass along my current if any
erBBers are interested.

Oside, as always, great review. Thanks for posting. Would it be safe to assume that the newer TMs have slightly more width in the nose & tail? The pic of yours (via SM) seems pretty narrow compared to those Sean's been posting of late on Insta.

I'm about 185-190 lbs, 5'11" of moderate ability. The hitch is I'm 52! Looking for early entry and some of the usual VS magic. Not sure where to size the TM. I've got a 6'0" 20 5/8 2.5 Shadow that I love. But I had SM shape that for better waves so not typical Shadow outline. Figure the TM is the next iteration.

The template is the same. There is just a tad more rocker on the new ones and the
rails are slightly more of a down rail. Sean has made himself some pretty big ones
compared to his normal ones, so that's prob what you've seen. Based on your
Shadow size, my current one is prob pretty close to spot on for you. I went a tad bigger
on the replacement for a bit more paddle power in more size or larger playing fields.
Cheers!

Thanks Oside. I opted for a bit more paddle power as well and went 6'3" and a little wider than your current TM. Most of the time when it gets decent to decent-plus I am looking for a bit more foam as well. Think this could handle that with some style & versatility on the fin set ups. Headed out to there in March to pick it up. Hope there are waves!

Works out well as I've been wanting to try this beast of a CJ Noserider sitting in
the racks which will give the new toys a bit of curing time. :grin:

This thing is going to be a paddle monster and make bigger days with more water
moving so much more fun. Plenty of volume but nice rails to make the money shot.
