The Pintail Twinsman is a refined, narrower evolution of the original Twinsman, designed to blend user-friendly speed with heightened control. Featuring a pulled-in pintail and streamlined outline, this board offers enhanced hold and smoother transitions—especially in steeper or more powerful surf. It retains the signature twin-fin drive and flow, but with added precision and the ability to push harder on rail. Whether you size it as a slightly longer everyday twin or stretch it into a step-up for juicier waves, the Pintail Twinsman delivers confident, versatile performance in a wide range of conditions.
Pro
Enhanced Control: The pintail and narrow outline improve hold and stability, particularly in critical or hollow surf.
Fast & Flowing: Twin-fin setup and efficient bottom contours provide excellent speed with minimal effort.
Highly Versatile: Can be sized up or down—from a playful daily driver to a powerful step-up—without losing its core performance.
Approachable Feel: Maintains the easy paddle and get-up-and-go acceleration that made the original Twinsman so user-friendly.
Con
Less Tail Release: Compared to a swallow or round tail twin, the pintail has more hold and less slide, which may not suit surfers who prefer a looser tail feel.
Twin-Fin Learning Curve: While forgiving, twin setups still require a slightly different approach than thrusters, especially in steeper conditions.
Final Verdict
The Pintail Twinsman is a sleek, responsive twin that brings added control to the fun and flow of a twin-fin platform. Ideal for surfers looking to push harder or explore bigger surf without jumping to a full thruster or step-up gun, this board hits a sweet spot between glide and grip. A stylish, versatile option that adds depth to any quiver and brings out the best in a variety of waves.
