Here's my custom Mutant. Its a blend between mako, tronic, and axis twinwave.

The more surf style orientated you want to go the more offset and mutant foot position you need to go to get better wave riding.

The more Cross shore it its, the better the waves are the more mutant you want to go.

Sub head high I don't think it really matters TT mode or mutant. head high plus mutant all the way.

Riding any twintip in waves is like trying to fix your car with garden tools. I actually fixed a 1978 volvo with a bent fromt guard with a rake and a small digging utensil. God it was ugly, but it can be done.

Show me some conditions you can ride on ya surfboard that I can't on my weirdo mutant board and i'll believe ya,,,, I'm yet to see those conditions.

On a site note. I roll up to the beach on a no swell day and there's 20 dudes on surfboards mowing back and forth neither jumping or riding waves. Just mowing, mowing mowing,,,,,,,, whats that about?
