Surf Soon • Review of the 8' 7" Maurice Cole Alpha Twin Reverse Vee

Surf Soon is a numerically rated surf craft review series. If you dig this episode please hit that like button and don’t forget to subscribe.
In this episode I will be reviewing a 8'7 Alpha Twin Reverse Vee by Maurice Cole. The Alpha Twin is Maurice Cole and ‪@REALWatersports‬ 6th collaboration in surf design. The idea was to build a Swiss army knife design that works for almost anything the ocean provides. It's pulled in outline complemented by Maurice's reverse Vee design bottom contour. Is it a glider? Or a big step up...
The nose rocker and tail rocker are pretty elevated for a longer length style surf craft allowing a little more wiggle room dropping in and making more aggressive turns on critical waves. The nose has a down rail to a fuller low rail in the middle and the tail has a performance rail with hard edge starting 26 inches from the tail. The bottom starts with a Vee under the chest to a double concave which then meets a set of channels.
I wanted to share with you a community chat I designed for all things surfing. It was designed to focus on several different categories that I feel are key interested to the modern day surfer. The categories range from surf craft in general, to outside of surfing activities, to second hand products. This is a forum for everyone and anyone with the main goal of building a global community. So go ahead and check it out and I hope you enjoy.

riding this shape in an 8.6, Alpha 5, custom shape, slightly wider, channels replaced by fluted flyers, goes as a twin or 3 fin. Had some great surfs so far.

Leaving a comment to trigger the RUclips algorithm. You guys deserve way more subs! Great review.

[@joeblow1942]

Beautiful board!

[@REALmattnuzzo]

Love my twin pin and diamond twin. Need to get out there on and Alpha for a spin. Great review. 🔥

[@marvinsmall5002]

Another great real world review. 🤙😀

[@garretdouglas4056]

Nice review. I’ve always considered reverse V a board for a front footed surfer.

[@frankchen7346]

Great review. I'm thinking of adding this to my quiver. I bought the CJ Nelson Apex after your review and I'm having a blast! I've been taking the Apex to more point breaks but I'm thinking this Reverse Vee would be great for the beach breaks.

[@maynardlim9438]

The vee in the entry helps in the choppier conditions. Ur surfing it really well!

[@drewnolan96]

Sick!!

[@ashoup7534]

Would love to see this one in slightly bigger surf... shoulder to OH.

[@alexmarkovitz]

Would this be too big of a jump from a 9 ft 6 longboard? I'm finding in bigger waves the board is a bit bulky, but scared i'm not going to be able to catch anything at first since it's a whole foot jump. Surfing out in Montauk and thinking about this for the fall season... any advice would be appreciated!

[@rocksandwoks]

How does the Alpha Twin compare to a Haley Pin? I am looking for something to surf on choppy/bigger days. Groveling is less of a priority. Are they noticeably different?

[@drewnolan96]

Could you review the Maurice Cole Reverse Vee Twin Diamond from Real Water Sports? I have one and am trying to get a breakdown from a pro because the thing is wild!

[@js333able]

How far down does the v on the board go?

[@thedigitalnicholas]

I've been recklessly eyeballin' a 10' 1" on Real's website.

[@surfcraftunion]

Hey Everyone

[@BeefcakeRhinodog71]

Nice review shame about the background music

[@haroldfreemanjewelers-auth2053]

Too bad you tested it in knee high junk. Board looks like it would work well in pacific point waves
