Twin curious, I purchased Red Baron with the summer waves upon us. I've ridden the standard Pointy nosed Thruster for nearly 40 years! The surfing I enjoy watching guys like Asher Pacey and Rasta more than the CT guys. The Red Baron took a little adjustment at first. Finding the back foot, especially on the backhand took a little time. Being unsure of grip placement, especially with the block. Once familiar, the first thing I noticed was the speed this little board carries, heaps! It flys across flat sections at twice the speed. Linking sections is easy. I find my forehand has now been liberated by the ability to bottom turn tight and whip tight arc top turns and pop the fins. Cutting back with speed requires more finesse, there isn't much rail to rely on, that is part oof the attraction, modifying your approach. I find I will ride this board in a lot more conditions as the challenge is always there. I am often surprising myself with what I can do on the board. I will now continue to experiment with twins. A Black Baron could be next. Buy one!
