Why have have ya been trying to sell it the last 3 years? That board, pretty sure it was yours, was on CL longer than any board I've seen. Cant believe some NoPo hipster didn't scoup it.
I have a beaut of a twin keel from another legendary SD shaper that I just fixed for buddy. I've ridden it before. A little over sized, but fun on long lined up front side walls. Not so great on the back side. Trackey and weird. He's letting me hold on to it, but haven't really had the opportunity wave wise to surf it.
Performance twin would be interesting with an MR set up and tuned trailer. Don't surf enough to warrant it though. Sticking to my one magic board for now, which has 5 fin boxes. I have the same thoughts as Spent. Thruster for pockety vert surfing. Quad for racey walls and/or section making or waves with more face vs vert. Also prefer quad backside. I can get a line off the drop I just cant get with thuster. Fletcher 4 was the best dedicated and prob quad I've ever owned, but that board is long gone getting surfed at some point break in RI.
