Not sure what happened to this twinzer I made for Havoc:
GG used to get so mad when Havoc called him Greg Graffin, I had to make this!

Havoc's a numbers guy
My favorite part is the dims
Bad Religion reference is not lost. WELL DONE
Greg once posted a picture of a concaved board he shaped, I think his rolled inverted V was something he thought up himself. I think one of the reasons he used to dismiss opinions the rest of the erBB expressed on bottom contours is because he felt that he had lived and breathed the design evolution of bottom contours (and other parts of the surfboard). His work for Town and Country in Hawaii and being close to other influential designers such as Brewer. He therefore thought that the rest of us were operating with incomplete knowledge.
Loved talking with GG about board design(when you could keep him on topic) he was (seems to me) interested in simple, clean, efficient designs, all elements working together. Too much of anything and you get a board that can be reactive when conditions don't suit.
Can‘t find the full outline, but this was from another thread:
Edit: found it

thats mine and its a great board
I'll start with the asterisk that I am a lifelong average on a good day surfer. It was my first twinzer. the best I can describe it is that it catches waves I don't think I will catch, makes sections I don't think I'll make, its fast and turns well.
Kelly riding a 5 fin at Sunset. GG would have been on a posting bender after seeing that.
i bought one of davey's old boards from surfnsail next to kuu aina in the early 90's. A 6''8" mini swallow shaped by rawson.
Fast board that tended to pivot off the single fin more than i liked. I also bought a used reverse vee by arakawa at the same time. they both ran about the same. Davey was a pioneer of those 5 fin bonzers on the northshore. one of the few who surfed them back then. Bobby Owens surfed them too they both had a similar knock knee style and ripped sunset.
