Does anyone know of a good twintip board that is good for wave riding?

I don't want to go full surfboard as I like having the versatility of a twintip.

Any suggestions welcome.

Nobilie 50/50 with small fins is the best board ive ridden in the surf so far, the extra length and flex eats big waves and chop and the reduced spray means you dont constantly get water in your eyes .Ive ridden a lot of twin tips in the surf as it is my preferred stlye and there are lots of boards out there i like sutch as ( fone SK8 ,NHP,XRIDE,FREE RIDE,TRAX,JIMMY LEWIS) but the 50/50 fits me to a tee, huge load, soft landings ,great upwind ,good down the face of a wave and dosnt nose in even at the bottom of a barrel.
Hope this helps

Im 72 -75kg and can ride my 139 in pretty much any wind you could go the 141 if you wanted super light wind but your weight in that wind range the 139 will be great for you and the foot pads are oh so comefy
Hope this helps
George
