i bought a 6'8" jobson twinzer at a garage sale for $30. that board was faster than any board i'd ever ridden- great for the beach break around here. it looks like the same type of board he's holding in that picture. does the boards speed have something to do with the tail design? it seems like a pre bat-tail almost, it has a double concave starting a little behind center and a really channeled bottom going into the tail with those stinger points off the rails.
i tried to copy the board but with a squash tail and i used the future vector II fins, didnt feel the same at all.
i do still have the board, i hardly ever ride it anymore, its de-laming and fallin apart- ill get around to fixin it up one of these days. ill give dimensions tomorrow- chip i sent pm about board
Just one man's opinion, but this board (classic, relic, call it what you will) deserves a pro restoration, I'm sure it'll surf a dream it get the attention it's do.
Was just about to start a Twinzer, (for myself) before this and other thread you started came along. (all good)
There seems to be two styles of twinzer the fish style, Jobson and the more standard plan shape style, as per Mabile.
What type of bottom configeration best suit these little monsters, single/double concaves, combination of both, vee's and let's not forget rocker styles ???
Everyone seems to focus on "FINZZZZZZZZZZ" (lol), but man I have to get the rest of the board done as well (lol)
I've kept alot of your posts re these animals from sway's and other place's from years back but have nothing on the above.
And by the way will review your other post and get back to you re "FINZZZZZZZ" (lol)
hey foamhead, sorry 'bout the lag, been really busy and kinda spaced. the measurement you requested: rear fin tip to rail edge is 5.5", sorry dont have a tool to measure the exact angle. hope this helps. if you want more info pm me.

no need to stress old mate ..... i know what it's like to get wrung out, (your just to popular) lol
Maybe I didn't explain myself properly, but what I need is the distance from the rail edge to the "rear fin tips at "base" of fins not including rovings" ...... usually around 1 1/4" or whatever it is !!!
Really appreciate your help .... I've started my beast, will forward you some pic's as I progress
once again many thanx old mate, look forward to response

PS Would you mind measuring up how wide the tail block is from tip to tip
