    Getting a new board is always one of the most exciting days of the year. Including this one, I've only ever had 3 boards custom made for me. I have a bunch of quality surf shops near by so I can generally find exactly what I'm looking for but I've never had that luck with finding the perfect twin fin. They've always been either a hair too long, a little too thick or thin, etc.... so I finally got EXACTLY what I wanted this time. I found I ride a twin fin more than any other board so hopefully I've dialed in the perfect one for me. It's 5'8 x 21 x 2 5/8 and has a tad bit more rocker than my previous twins. If it's not like huge barrels I've found these boards work really good in chest high tubes so I'm hoping that may help out. Can't wait for a decent day to take it out but the forecast ain't looking so hot. Hopeful for Friday!

    Looks like those fins have some serious toe-in.

    Great looking board. Love the color.

    Mind posting up your human dims? I'd like to snag a board like this; having never surfed proper fishes, I wonder what would work well for my size.

    Thanks for the compliments! I'm 5'10 probably 175. If I was forced (for whatever odd reason) to only have one board this would be the way I'd go. They're pretty versatile and I think it fits my style of surfing. You can go top to bottom, do some cruisey little turns or get shacked.
