Wondering what some of the merits are when considering offsetting the toe in on quads and twinzers.
Somehow it got in my head to offset quads and I’ve always done that, 1/4” main 1/8” rears.
It makes sense I feel to add more “bite” or grip in a turn or driving off the fins at all. This relationship makes sense to me , the main larger fins are driving and initiating so they are the most toed in.
On a twinzer the relationship of which fin should be offset is less obvious to me, as the relationship the fins have on each other is completely different. I’ve done mostly matching 1/4” which just feels fast and loose and twinzer-like, but I wonder is that same bite attainable as with quads? I know some swear by offsetting them, and I’ve seen this, and tried it once with the canard shallower at 1/8” but I don’t really understand if that’s right or why it would be. Seems like whatever water is funneled between the two fins would have a smaller gap to shoot through if the canard was set at 1/8”.
What’s the goal when doing this on a twinzer? Is it to make sure the boards not too loose? Would it make sense to have the main be 1/8” for drive and the canard set at 1/4”?
These are things I’ve always wondered .
Here’s a 6’2 I just shaped - twinzer
