For $340 what the hell, give it a burl.

I dislike channel bottom twins, particularly when they don't at least have a plug for a back fin if you want to add one.
Too condition specific.

I don’t like the aesthetic of the long channels on the outside and the short in the middle.

Fin placement looks off.

I’m also a little hesitant on the plan shape and rocker . Too flat, too wide/bloated?
I’ve had a decent custom board off PCC before, that said, he shaped a flat-tracker style single fin, when I was instead after a hi-performance style board
I’m becoming increasingly tempted to just bite the bullet and go for a Pyzel wildcat twin at full price

As in misaligned or not in the right position ?
The misalignment is probably a photographic illusion ... and the positioning looks okay.

Not how I roll bro. I don’t buy boards that often. And I’m a Scrooge with coin

I can see the rest of my days being off the rack boards from sideways surf, decent boards and reputable shaper/designers at half the price
or secondhand boards off gumtree which is a great place for cheap nearly new step-ups and guns if you’re not too precious on exact dimensions.
$1000 plus to roll the dice then wait for weeks on a custom? Hard to justify

Yep. Same applies. Though since that feb2022 post I’ve acquired a pyzel shortboard at full price and 100% happy with the decision, great board, holding up well. And I’d be happy to shell out for another pyzel no worries

Maybe it's the angle of the photo but those fins look too far forward,or maybe it's the tail pulling in too much.
I'm guessing it goes though.

Speaking of…You’re only young once……one of my biggest regrets is not jumping onto fish way earlier. On the plus side all the brouhaha about midlengths was sorted 20 years ago.
