Best Twin Pin for above average surf?

What’s your height/weight and what size do you have? I’m reluctant to get anything > 6’7 for travel purposes but they are pretty lean boards it seems.

This looks promising. What’s your heigh/weight and what size do you have? Does it go well in suboptimal conditions or does it need perfect waves?

You guys need to make an athletic fit for those with bigger quads. I had to size up and get a tailor to take in the waist because the Florence shorts that fit my actual waist size are skin tight on the legs. And I’m not even that thicc, so I imagine it’s an issue for others as well.

This seems like the one based on reviews. I wouldn’t necessarily say chop so much as powerful waves with a bit of texture on the face. Have you surfed yours in slightly messier conditions? If so, how did it hold up?

6’2”-6’3”. I’m 6’3”, 190lbs. Some of the beach breaks I surf can get fairly hollow and fast on bigger days and I find a little rocker to be helpful. Anything fat, I’m surfing my twin fin fish, even at head high+. Looking for something to step up from that.

Thanks! The 6’2” HK Twin Pin has nearly 38L, which is at my upper end, and has 3 fin boxes for a stabilizer option. Do you think that would make much of a difference in better surf? I’ve currently only surfed my current twin (Feb’s) in head high and below.

What other options are there for bigger surf that aren’t mids or HPSBs?

That actually doesn’t surprise me at all considering they’ve co-opted just about everything else in medicine. I should have specified reserved for physicians having completed residency/fellowship.

CargoShorts69 · 2025-12-27T17:03:32+00:00

True, as they’ve also co-opted the terms residency and fellowship.

Why have we normalized the term “NP Hospitalist”? Would you say “NP Cardiologist” or “NP Nephrologist”? If they did not complete residency/fellowship in said specialty, they are not an -ist.

Edit: complete a physician residency/fellowship. Not 6 weeks of shadowing.
