My twinsquishman arrived yesterday. The board looks and feels insane.

Something about the wider plan shape with less thickness than the stock 5'8 is really speaking to me.

Will post up some photos tomorrow. Have to say, Album + Dark Arts looking very very on point.

Everything I've gotten from Dark Arts has been top-notch and I think they've even gotten a bit better over the years.

Kind of have to wonder how much better boards/construction can even get?

It’s a blem board, they said water damage on the bottom but it’s not really noticeable. Just looks like some messy resin tint but pretty minor. I’ll try to take a photo but you can’t really see it.

Maybe you just need to try a mini ghost in DA for that missing spark. LOL
Insanity goes good! lots of glide but still rippy. Impressed. I surfed pretty blown out neck high waves and had a blast. Better / bigger waves tomorrow, so we’ll see. Might replace the twinsman.
what fins you try? Quad? Twin + training wheel?

Merrick quads but want to try thruster
I think twin plus trailer might be too much fin
Twin trailer and upright thruster fins are my fav in the Insanity but mine is a bit longer and always felt a little too stiff with quads. If u like it in neck high slop you will really dig it once it gets overhead.
