Great video as always!!! We are all searching for more control. If this set-up makes you feel that, and you're having more fun too - you're the winner 🤙🤙🤙 I will be trying this next time the waves cooperate!
Makes sense to me. I had a Seaside and Beyound, I went from surfing it as a quad to putting twin uprights in it. Totally changed the board, more playful.
Looked way better with your fin mixed like that. Interesting idea. Got a new Panda Rocket Fish Asymmetrical waiting to be ridden. I have gone down that rabbit hole.
@@ThomyeSurfs I missed in my original post that I had it custom shaped as an Asymmetrical board. Board feels amazing under the arm. I love the look of the different rail length rail lines, the odd looking tail and mixed fin setup and placement ... If it goes terribly ... I'll hang it on the wall as art as it has a great paint job
Thanks for putting this out there. I definitely want to try this out with my 5'9 Sunday! There is definitely a noticeable difference in the video with the Asym fins.
GENIUS move ....... Ive been a proponent of this theory since Covid ....... a MUST in ALL twin fins regardless. Check out Bushman's wooden keel template for the next best thing! ❤❤❤
Nice! I’ve never tried A-sims and fair play for trying different fins. I believe a Twinzer would free up the stickiness and able to go more vert but still have the drive/feel of a keel.
Have the Too Fish and really disliked the Machado keels in it, very tracky/stiff as you pointed out. Threw the NVS Taylor Knox twins in there and it's a completely different board. Highly recommend that combo.
I will give it a try. I do love the Knox twins. The orcas worked really well at least on one side so far. I'll try them on both sides and see how that goes.
@@damienachard5813 Haven't had a chance to go Orcas only or Knox only. Had to get the White Tiger review done and now finishing up the Dumpster Diver 2 footage. Hopefully soon.
@joneager5266 and @ThomyeSurfs I ended up buying Taylor Knox NVS twin fins and absolutely love it. The maneuverability of the Too Fish is now very real and make the board so much fun. Thanks for the tips guys !
I just got in from a session on a seaside. I put some upright akila aipa twin fins in with machado quad rear fins as a trailer. It went great. I actually had similar results on a left reef break (backside for me ). The board felt less sticky and more responsive
I've had great luck with twins up front and the trailers that come with twin sets in the rear quad boxes (slightly bigger trailer on the toe side). If the quad rears are too tracky with twin fins up front, then smaller trailers work well!
If you bought a twinnie with glassed on fins and the fins were different to each other, then that board would 100% be asymmetrical. Also, those who say asymmetrical boards are an abomination because "I've never seen an asymmetrical fish" (fish as in the animal!) would have a point if a surfboard rode waves all by itself, but it doesn't - it is a synergy of board and surfer, which unless you tend to surf with one foot either side of the stringer facing the nose, is an undeniably asymmetric combination. Besides, I never met a fish that struggles going left...
6’2 187lb…looking to grab a 5’6” Too Fish. Any thoughts on size? Normally ride 31-32L. I’m lookin for a twin fin to grab on smaller days. Live in SOCAL. Thanks.
5'6 seems a tad short, I'm' 5'8 and was on the 5'2 which is 6 inches shorter than me. the 5'6 would by 8 inches shorter than you but having said that, I think Rob is 5'9 and he is likely on something ever shorter than the 5'2. If the literage is right, it would work for you, the board is wide and flat so paddling, catching waves, should be fine. I personally don't like boards less than 5'1 for me, the rail line are just too short. but that is me and my heavy front footed style. if you are also front foot, go 5'7 unless that is too many liters. if you are heavy back foot, then you should be good to go.
@@ThomyeSurfs I think this board has a pretty big sweet spot for size. I’m 5’10” and have a 5’8” and it works in everything and makes catching waves so easy. You’re probably a better surfer than me but the older I get the more I like extra board under me.
@@DiscosVideos yeah, the board is friendly that's for sure. My boards keep creeping up in volume. :) Happens to all of us. But no shame in that game, just more waves.
@@user-uh2pk8nj6v no. Depending on your skill level maybe it could be challenging and also depending on your waves. So if you divide your weight by 5 that should be a good grovel liter for someone that's intermediate and up. Yes you could get a bigger board and make it easier on yourself but as a answer to your question is it too small, it is not.
Good stuff, i always mess around fins, keep things interesting

nice. that thing looks like it has a bit of performance built into the outline. I like the way it looks.

Great surfing Thomye!!! I hope you will get your hands on a proper asym to feel the full vibe... may be Album Disorder? :)
that's the dream. :) lol
That’s a crazy difference
I agree! It def added some spice.

Have you tried with the Orcas for both fins?
no, I will definitely do that. I did end up buying the 5'2 used. So will compare fins after I get through some of these board reviews. :)
@@ThomyeSurfs that'd be a great comparison vid to have: both keels, keel + orca, both orcas. love yous content, keep rocking!
So you did keel on your tow and upright on your heal?
went so good. i will try the uprights on both though at some point. that will likely be good as well.
If you could only have 1, Seaside or TooFish?
seaside, more versatile in the way it surfs and the type of waves it can handle. And it goes backside better. :)
How much do you weigh im trying to see what size to get
145 lbs and 5'8 tall. I normally ride my boards around the 27L mark.
I'm 165 do you think a 5'4 is too small

Thank u that help alot alot
