I had a chat with Sam when he was using one - it looks nice, but more of a TT with more grip, & not really a mutant, as the fins are too small and the outline/rocker looks too symmetrical (imho) to be a mutant

I guess it's a bit like the old Naish MTX with less fin. And certainly not worth putting big fins in a board without a fin box as we both learned with the MTX. Snappy snap snap

I'd love to have a session a proper Mutant of old. I know the sport has moved on but they were great fun.

lol...the sport has moved on... I haven't... that's all I use - customs based on the old 4'10 Naish Pro - but I did have a session the other day on my board that started it all - the 4'10 Flash !

Are you asking about the Supernatural Twin Tip ? It is a lot of fun , slashing small onshore waves and boosting airs.

Funny, I trust Sam even though he works for Slingy. The small issue I have is he could make anything look really fun, even an actual wood plank. I’ve talked with pros and they will say “oh, this board will do this and this and this”. And I look at them and say ‘it will do that with you on it, not me’. Sadly.
