…yes, in that clip I really liked the easy going projection of the board between the bottom turn and the curl or top of the waves (as seen in SOME of the waves in the clip)
i have a 6’0" twin (i’m 6’3" and 180#) and finally got it out in some decent SH-HH surf. works really well and is quite fast when ridden correctly. it does require some figuring out (tail specifically) and i don’t quite have it dialed in yet. flexes a lot so that must be taken into account. the board holds really well in long walls and projects bottom to top very nicely.
it doesn’t work very well (for me, yet) in mushy stuff, but perhaps that’s just me.
i usually ride a 5’10" steve brom fish so my style, i’m sure, is a direct result of that.
-my stand position is more forward, back foot over the (brom) fins. on the Y my tendency is to place it in front of the fins*
-center of gravity could be lower; i’m not very flexible
-front-footed suits me better
-rocker isn’t much in it’s neutral position but with the flex the rocker changes as you ride
-flex is controlled, you can feel the board load and unload, but not so much as on my 6’0" pleskunas wibbulator, which has a more smooth and controlled flex.
coming off the brom i really have to think about foot placement and loading the board. i think the key, for me, to surfing the y-twin in smaller, mushy waves is to keep my back foot on the fins (not in front), thereby keeping the rocker in the back third to a minimum, and, surfing it more back-footed in small surf.
the eva works really well, doesn’t seem to hold much water
i really had trouble deciding whether to get the y-twin or quad. i’m sure the quad would more easily go vertical but i’m not much of a vertical surfer so the twin is just fine. i just like to go fast.
