The Fin
The Pavel twinzer template in 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
The Pavel canards are set relatively upright, which favours hold over release — the twinzer to pick if the reason you want canards is that your twin lets go too early.
Specifications
The design allows tight pivoting turns, blinding speed, and a high degree of sensitivity -- tested in everything from 5'5" micro-wing fishes to 9'+ whale fish.
The proven all-range twinzer from the designer who never abandoned the concept: a twin's loose, lively feel with the extra bite and control most riders wish a twin had. It only makes sense on a board with twinzer placement -- standard twin boxes call for a plain twin instead.
The Pavel Twinzer is Rich Pavel's four-fin twinzer set, made by True Ames in solid fiberglass and offered in FCS and Futures versions. It pairs a high-aspect rear twin with a small, upright front canard, both running flat inside foils, with the canard positioned to feed clean flow into the rear fin. True Ames reports the design has been tested on boards from 5'5" micro-wing fishes to 9'-plus whale fish, and it requires a board with twinzer box placement.
