@@AddisonRowland hey man i have a question for ya. im 5'10/5'11 , i weigh roughly 75/76kg and im a late beginner. if i took a 7'6 foamie out to urban surf, id catch 8/10 waves at PT, if i took out my 8 foot 60 litre torque board, id catch 6 or 7 out of 10. right now im struggling with paddle fitness but im working on it pretty hard so should be ok by spring/early summer. i wanna buy an album twinsman. im trying to learn bottom/top turns and cut backs, and i plan on spending most of my sessions on PT and Intermediate over the next few months. my question is, do you think a 6 foot twinsman is too long to perform snappy turns etc on those two waves? and that i should aim for a 5'10 or 5'11? also, would you recommend the pin tail or the original tail for a late beginner about to hit early intermediate at urbnsurf? for me its about confidence and steadyness when trying to turn. mate thanks so much any feed back would be greatly appreciated.
Woah, awesome dude, yeah paddling at urban is hectic haha I would suggest you buy something cheap in that size range before you commit to an expensive new or even used album shortboard, you could probably find a 6’0 or 6’2 shortboard for 200-300 and this would give you an idea for its going to be like to paddle and catch waves, ure dropping alot of litres going from 60L down to 38L in the 6’0 twinsman. Its hard to say without seeing you surf but I know on average everyone seems to go to small to quick, I did it, my friends have done it. Maby a mid length would be a better step down somthing like the firewire sunday, a 7’0 with 53L is gonna be manoeuvrable as heck with ure feet in the right spot. I have made this mistake before you definitely do not need a shortboard to learn turns. I really like my pintail but they are both epic shapes I guess its almost a feeling thing, witch tail shape u prefer.
@@AddisonRowland hey mate thanks so much for the reply i really appreciate it, i popped down to strapper over the weekend and had a chat with the guys down there. long story short i walked out with a dhd black diamond. tonnes of volume but a pulled in tail, ideal for learning turns. im gonna smash out as many PT/intermediate sessions as possible between now and end of October, so i'll probably update you in a few months. take it easy, and keep up the good content.

Loving PT atm such a fun wave!
@@AddisonRowland hey man i have a question for ya. im 5'10/5'11 , i weigh roughly 75/76kg and im a late beginner.

right now im struggling with paddle fitness but im working on it pretty hard so should be ok by spring/early summer.
i wanna buy an album twinsman. im trying to learn bottom/top turns and cut backs, and i plan on spending most of my sessions on PT and Intermediate over the next few months.
my question is, do you think a 6 foot twinsman is too long to perform snappy turns etc on those two waves? and that i should aim for a 5'10 or 5'11?
also, would you recommend the pin tail or the original tail for a late beginner about to hit early intermediate at urbnsurf? for me its about confidence and steadyness when trying to turn.
