Derrick Disney DST Twinzer - FCS / Futures Compatible
Derrick Disney's DST twinzer in ivory solid fiberglass, FCS and Futures compatible.
The Fin
Derrick Disney's DST twinzer in ivory solid fiberglass, FCS and Futures compatible.
A twinzer runs four fins, but not as a quad: each main fin gets a small canard set just ahead of and outside it. The canard sheds a vortex over the main fin, which lets the main fin hold at a steeper angle than it otherwise would. The result is twin-fin speed and looseness with more hold than a twin has any right to.
This template
Disney's canards are the small, low-profile kind — a set aimed at adding drive out of a turn rather than outright hold.
Specifications
Disney sized the DST rears smaller with an even base-to-height ratio so they free up the tail and let you surf across the whole face rather than parking on rail, with the canards breaking water tension before it reaches the rear fin for more drive, maneuverability and hold.
Run the full DST set on a dedicated shorter, high-performance twinzer with canard boxes to match — it rides fast and loose, sitting somewhere between a twin and a quad, and rewards a surfer who releases the tail and redirects quickly. If you want a drivier twinzer for an egg or mid-length, Disney's RDM set is the better call, and a straight high-performance twin without canards is the Furrow High Aspect Twin's territory.
A complete twinzer set comprising two rear twin fins and two leading canards, designed by Derrick Disney and manufactured by True Ames in solid fiberglass. The set is FCS and Futures compatible, and the canards come in multiple cant angles. The rear fins run a balanced base-to-height ratio, and the canards share that even height-to-base proportion, sitting forward and outboard of the rears. The set is intended for shorter, higher-performance twinzer boards.
