The CA Twin went good in the pool and the ocean and I was stoked on it down the line speed, projection through maneuvers, and flow from rail to rail. I tested this model in two different constructions.... both boards are stock 5'4" x 19.5 x 2.28 Liters 26. One board in PU/Polyester resin and the other is EPS/Epoxy resin and they both felt good. I preferred the PU/Poly in the ocean as it carried a little more drive through turns due to a little extra weight. I highly recommend the CA Twin for Intermediate to Pro Level surfers in 1-5' surf.

How does 2+1 compare to straight thruster set-up? (I've ridden thruster/quad*/twin but never 2+1) thanks! *Favourite.

I was about to buy the Rocket Wide but after I saw this review I have doubts wich board would be the best for me. Between these two what do you think is better to improve surfing and start turning on 1-6 foot waves?.

Noel, you had mentioned that you don't like it when a board goes flat on the wave face through turns. You said it's better when the rail holds and the board is on angle through the turn. Watching this video it seemed the board was going flat on the top turns. Am I seeing that right? Did you feel that way on the board?
Surf n Show Reviews
Surf n Show Reviews - 4 years ago
Matt Clem I never want to add foam if a board paddles good and has good glide. I like my boards quick and responsive... if I were surfing a beach break my Grovelers would go good there too.... still the same glide and paddle but a beach break will often have more punch or power and I still want to get into the lip quick. Adding foam to a Groveler makes them turn slow, disrupts flow, and have less performance.
Matt Clem
Matt Clem - 4 years ago
@Surf n Show Reviews Ok thanks. When I first heard your comment about turns and the rail angle it became something I always watched for in your videos. I always look for boards with good drive and smooth performance rail work through turns. Maybe I'm mistaking the "twin fin top turn release aesthetic" with going flat. In a stab in the dark video Mick Fanning said he looks for a board that has good drive, and that he can lean on rail quickly and easily. Matt biolos said that the right board is one that allows you to make speed easily and allows you to do the turns you want to do. I suppose finding the right balance of speed and control depends on your ability and the wave type. Always learning so much from your show. It has been a huge help in putting the puzzle together. Thank you.

One thing I keep thinking about. You say that you don't add liters on your grovelers because board design compensates for the smaller wave size. Many people tend to add liters on their grovelers, myself included. Do you think this could be because you always surf the same spot and the waves basically break the same way, with the same shape, just smaller? If you had a wave that didn't break down the line with good shape I would think you would want more volume. What do you think?
Surf n Show Reviews
Surf n Show Reviews - 4 years ago
Matt Clem The board felt good on rail... and I could hold it on rail through turns. Other boards that go flat start on rail and then go flat when I don’t want it too. If your seeing the board go flat.... then your seeing something I’m not. CA Twin felt solid with Twin Plus Trailer.

Awesome review and awesome surfing! Been eyeing this board for a few months, think I'm going to have to pic one up.
Just out of curiosity, Have you tried this board as a thruster yet? Maybe something with a slightly smaller center fin? Don't get me wrong, MR twin+trailer is one of my fav. fins, but just wondering how this board would go with a more conventional 3 fin set.
Surf n Show Reviews

Thank you ande enjoy your Holidays!

Your backhand attack sells it for me. Backhand can be difficult to master on twins, quads, twinzers. You look really confident on those lefts.
Also Im 5'8" and usually abt 195lbs not fat at all. I'll still try to surf with a mix of Richard Kenvin carve and more modern competitive style. I've been riding between 5'10 and 6'0.
I feel like I need something that wont radius out of the pocket on typical sd waves.
Something like this MR collab looks good here....but I'm afraid because of my weight to drop down to the lengths you're riding.

Hi Noel, I love my CA TWIN! I'm a beginner/Intermediate and this is the first board I've really clicked with. I love getting it on rail and the speed is just addicting. It has such an exhilarating combo of speed and stability. Coming from a skateboarding background, perhaps because I'm more of a front footed surfer it's easier for me to turn.
