Lightbender vs. Twinsman: whats the different type of waves they're intended for? Matt recommended the Lightbender for east coast beach break, but didnt contrast the Twinsman

I feel like the Lightbender is, despite the narrower nose/tail, still a fish at heart. Twinsman looks like it is more of a performance twin. I don't have one so I can only speculate but I would expect it to be a little more loose and pivotal. Probably not quite as much easy glide. I reckon either one would work in beachies. I definitely like the Lightbender in crappy to fun beachbreaks as long as it's not tiny.

that little wing and fin placement looks fun, you look like you're enjoying da twin life.

Uh oh Album hipster doods, looks like you completists will have to get this “Twinbender” one now to cover the full spectrum. That gap in @Aruka quiver was glaringly obvious...

Looks ugly! Wide at the bottom with a tiny little swallow. Fin placement looks funky. Would not bang...

What are folks thoughts on the Plasmic - that one piques my interest? How would define it besides fun - haha!

I gotta throw the guys at XTR a bone on that "topo chico but darker" color - I specified the color I was looking for in the notes - totally non-standard, with a vague description, and the airbrusher called me up out of the blue, and we had a discussion about it, and he nailed it, exactly what I was looking for. So stocked on how they came out.

blue one looks like a fishing lure!

nice quiver!

Picked up mine this morning. Maiden Voyage. Waves were decent. About waist and occasional shoulder set. Not mushy, but not hollow. It was fun.
She goes real good! But I dont like the look of this parallel carbon . I think this is the last time im ordering it this way.
