I'm intrigued after enjoying the twin (and 2+1) revival, but there's really not many floating around to try before committing to a new board order. Any ride reports relative to a straight twin, t+trailer.....in a blind taste test do you think you could actually feel the difference vs a straight twin?? Thx

Been riding a couple of twinzers (6'4" & 6'10") for the past year in everything from waist high to double overhead. In barreling beach break waves ... which is primarily what we have here ....no hesitation i'll take the twinzer setup over a twin + trailer, quad or thruster any day of the week and twice on Sunday. A couple things of note ... both of my twinzers excel in good waves and are not small wave grovelers. A lot of the twinzer setups i see online - show the canards with an upright twin fin in the rear. I tried that never seems to feel like it has enough drive ... much prefer the twinzer setup with a keel style template in the rear and the canards up front.
Why not make your current twin into a twinzer by adding your fin plug of choice?
Make sure you don’t get the shitty futures boxes for the canard fin. FCS or LIv3mind only.
cant go wrong with the RFC canards. Fins Unlimited makes some too, but i don’t think they sell them without the main fins.
+1 on this
Might be fin position, I like mine back a bit from traditional Jobson. I'm a back foot power surfer(in my mind)
Short answer is: absolutely, but they do take a level of commitment to figure out the correct size and placement (fin) suiting ones style
imho
im a weak back foot power surfer
They were. Ryan Sakal. I told him I’d use the NVS SKs. Since then Ive been reading past threads etc. Tidbits from N4S. Started to 2nd guess the original plan. Maybe dumb which wouldn’t be the first for me.
We focused most on the board. It’s my 2nd iteration of the model so I brought in my old to review. we pulled in the tail (I wanted to pull it in more, he said less) and i added a a touch of length. Give it some some more upper end range. on the fins, he knows I like the placement a bit back for a twin. But I specifically said I don’t know sh!t about twinzers so I’ve got nothing to add beyond let’s use Stu’s template as Ryan knows him some and we both respect his knowledge. I left it at that.
Really interested to see what you're running - board and fins- if you have the time for pics or shaper info?
Long time bonzer disciple here and would love to have an all round good wave twinzer.
Thanks!
Welcome to the rabbit hole of the Twinzer. Magic is just a perfect fin placement away . They’re fantastic.
