7'6" Von Sol mini HPTC twinzer
- Thread starter Oceanslide
- Start date
I don't think Joe Blair does a twinzer, but on his quads and thrusters he runs his fin clusters forward on the midlengths and longboards. He doesn't like squash or fish tails, either.
Sometimes I think of these combinations in terms of deciding where you want to surf the board from first, then matching the rocker, foil, center of mass and fin cluster to support that position and that stance and that mode of turning. Where you want the board to trim, where your mass is going to be, what your stance is like, all that. A traditional longboarder who normally favors the close stance and the hula motion is looking for something different than the shortboarder who wants to surf every other board they own in that same manner.
Hull guys ride forward on their boards and let the rails do the talking, so their rockers, foils and fin position are adjusted to support that. Thruster riders drive off the tail so their boards are set up to do that. Etc.

I've only done twinzers with the canards being set with a little overlap, the same toe-in, and more cant (tilt) than the mains. Not as extreme as bonzer runners but with the idea that more cant in the canard adds to the hold of a twin, especially going backside. GG's rear-set twins are another way to handle the problem of twins washing out.
Just the fact that there are several variations of placement out there and they all seem to generate positive feedback from at least some of their riders speaks to the idea that there's more than one legit way to do it.

Wil mentioned spreading the cluster when the waves are bigger. Sean is probably at the extreme of overlap, but generally runs the nubster w it. Huie /leveler made me some me some wider canards that we're looser than smaller ones bc of the increased overlap, even though they had a bigger base.
Think he had an 11' Twinzer Glider, would have loved to check it, you lucky dog.

Thank God you posted up Greg, we were about to have a welfare check on you.
Happy Easter! Go ride the Canfield.
Oh yeah, he has that too. Thought it was 10’ but may be bigger.
I tried it and it’s epic for catching waves and trimming on anything.
But again, hard as F to turn or redirect at all. Has its purpose and
perfect for it.
Kook rewind footage from a week or so ago. Comin' in hot from the far left of the screen.

Super fun. I've dug it in everything from overhead reef waves to small beach break andeverything in between. Haven't tried a 2+1 setup in it yet cause it's working great as a twinzer. Good stuff.
nice!
thinking the 2 plus juan might work better in reef and bigger stuff to draw turns out betteer?
