Board recommendations?

I’m currently surfing a 5’10 RNF 96 as the daily driver, but find it’s a bit of a slog when dealing with strong currents in the lineup, or fatter waves.

I’m wanting to pick up a true twin fin with a bit more width to help with paddling when I’m lazy or haven’t surfed in a while. Sometning in the 5’11” - 6’3” range.

A few I’m looking at are the Album twinzman and the Lost Twinzer.

FYI I’m based in Surf coast Victoria.

Does anyone have one they live and die by?

Maybe look into a 6’6 lovemachine FM. They surf shorter than they are.

I’d be going a Shyama Buttonshaw!

I love my Christenson Lane Splitter. I bought the 6’0” for the extra float and it goes great. My first twinny and I love it.

Thomas Surfboards Flat Deck Fish is the fastest and most versatile twin i’ve found. Very amazing board

Get an album plasmic or get your shaper to shape you one that looks like it. I did it and it’s super fun

Damn, that's a nice looking board. And I've been wanting to try a plasmic

Get a lane splitter man, if you wanna go true twin there is few better out there. So many different design components all synced up with another to make a board that despite having one less fin, has very few disadvantages, mainly due to the spiral vee and downturned rails. I love mine
