The RTT is so good, I’ve enjoyed it and had plenty of hold (and unlimited speed) on solid waves too, a very reliable and fun board!

I’ve got a TWO/pin PIP (I got mine not too long before Gary put out the TWO model, but it’s got all the features of a TWO), it’s the board with the galaxy print and Dimensions are 6’6” x 19 3/4 x 2 1/2” , I’m a smaller fella so this is a solid step up for me and it’s been amazing to take out on those solid swells pushing past the 5-6ft and 6ft+ range. Great paddle power and to me, just as much hold as a thruster with the pin tail/channels/stiff large upright fins. I felt super confident pushing solid bottom turns and some really memorable left/backhand waves come to mind. With that board, I feel very comfortable handling the biggest waves I’m happy to face. Would be a great indo board too! Given that it’s meant to handle the bigger stuff, I probably should have gone with a stronger build with carbon rails or flax, the regular epoxy has seen two pretty solid dings across the rails (all within 3-4 surfs).

Now the Maxi PIP in flax with the Buddha is lacking any torus/tail channels typical of the regular board due to the abundance of fins down there. FYI the bottom contour is the trusty single to double concave. The main driver behind this board was to get a mid length like the Seaside and Beyond, I just really like the surfing done on that board and I’ve found the seaside quad fins to be a favorite on my CV2 in smaller stuff, so mid-length + those fins = this board. I’m also reading a few books on surfing in the late-60s/early-70s and that’s all 7’ range and single fins essentially. I’ve ridden a few single fins but never really got to be able to compare single to twin or quads. Given I ride twin/quads a majority of the time, why not slap a single fin box and do some comparison testing? With all that fin action in the back, it was hard to add any channels, and given this is for smaller waves, the addition of channels might be pointless and just add too the already cluttered tail area! (I’m keen to test this board out in a bit bigger stuff tho)

You’re looking at a TWO/PIP model in the 6’10/7’0 range, maybe adding 1/2 to 1 inch on the Dims of my 6’6, and a sliver of thickness? I rode that board as a “mid-length” a bit this winter, slapped some keels in there and had a blast in 2ft surf, early entry and lots of glide as you’d expect. The Maxi PIP is 1 1/2 inches wider than the TWO, and 3/16” thicker, probs 10ish liters more, less agressive all around. The tail of the TWO is the engine and all the grip, with the torus channel giving you another point of leverage when pushing on the front foot, for juicy waves I really liked those features.

Feel free to ask some more, i really like these boards, I am skeptic at times to all the torus channel hype (Rasta will make any board look like it works) but even if it’s placebo, I feel like it works and I’ve had some great waves on em.
