Twinzer Feedback?

Oregon. Dearth of decent shapers up here.

Don't mind paying for shipping, usually get my boards from Stumps but wouldn't mind trying something new.

If I was going to order from anyone, it would probably be from Vince

and shout out to Dane Perlee. I reached out to Dane to ask a couple questions about fin placement on IG. He said hang on....
next day he sent me a dm breaking down pretty much all his numbers. Crazy
Rob Lyon also very inspirational with helping me explore fin placement

Who's good to order a twinzer from these days?

I’ll add to the list above Rob Brown, Von Sol, and Panda.

I would also consider what you're ultimately after in the board. Some of the listed shapers have a traditional vibe to their boards, others can angle towards a more modern interpretation

Thanks for all the help all, lots of options to parse through here!

I’ve chatted with Vince. He’s more than happy to ship a board.
There’s always North Pacific surf. He was a shaper at Rusty during the twinzer era. One of the rare ones that will post a picture with fins installed.

Had to grab a screen shot. Pottz was flying. Anyway you can see the slot between the fins pretty decent here.

Crazy how far inboard the main look

I know. Probably it’s just the way the board is tilted?

Anyone try a Joey Thomas (Santa Cruz) twinzer?

Broglio's Twinzers seem to use the whole Fusion plug instead of plug cut in half.

Advantages/Disadvantages?

+
you can use two tabbed canards;
same router jig

-
can't cut the cost of a plug in half

It’s an easier simpler way to install the the plugs. Half Fusions take more time to layout And you need a filler plug. Vince likes to run his canards ahead of the mains a bit more than most. I’ve adopted this on my own boards.

So that means less overlap? What are the effects of that?

Appreciate you answering my newbie twinzer questions

@bigglesworth
Yes I have a gap of about 5/8 " from main leading edge to canard trailing edge. I make my own fins, so I have canards with different "tang" position to adjust the gap.
As to why... That a hydrodynamic theory discussion about what the canard does (or doesn't do). My fin position is far off from traditional twinzers generally speaking

Chatted with Vince Broglio today, he is cooking up a daily driver for me.

2 years for an Osprey seemed a bit much

Definitely excited for you. Need pictures as soon as it shows up.

2nd twinzer ordered from Nick Palandriani at Source (he's shaped a couple of great boards for me before).

If I'm going down a rabbit hole, I'm doing this properly!

Anyone riding step up twinzers? I was gonna do one but chickened out n went w a thruster. Used for slabby spots n was worried a twinzer might be too squirrely

 

[need 4 speed]

I made myself a 6-5 step up and a 6-8 semi. the 6-5 is an awesome board that I love riding above shoulder high. Some of over lap with my 6-2. Haven't ridden the 6-8, I don't chase big-ish waves anymore. My fin position has developed overtime to suit my desired feel, which is not squirrely. I primarily use Greg's template that I scaled up to 5 3/8"h x 5 1/8"b, the 6-5 I'm using Liv3minds template @ 5 3/8"h x 5"b. I call it my Pivot template, far less raked than GG's but works great with the rail line
