    Picked it up yesterday, unfortunately it took a little shipping damage to the nose and tail. I'll have to get crafty with the epoxy and sandpaper before I can enjoy:(

    It was nice of them to paint it green to alert you to where it would be damaged during shipping.

    Seriously...amazing looking twinnie

    A Tim Stamps fish. Very nice, thing looks sikk.

    I incurred some damage to my last board being shipped from Moonlight Glassing, thing was boxed up enough to take a mortar blast but got damaged anyway.

    it does! quick question, do you ride the keels in your twin all the time? I'm curious what the feel of a more up and down fin would be like. like the AMTs

    I do... I prefer the traditional feel of the twin keel when I'm riding a fish. What that means is a fin that is fast down the line and draws longer, faster turns. I like that you can put a lot of power into your turns with that big, fat keel digging in deep... it doesn't scrub off much speed through the turn. And since those fins are flat on the inside, they still provide some lift. A quad setup or a smaller "twinnie" fin feels more responsive and draws a tighter turn, but bleeds off some speed as well.
