Hi,
I am planning on making a performace orientated twin fin but am unsure about fin placment and cant angles(im assuming 5 degrees)? What would you reccomend?
It would be helpful to know where you are located, ie; kind and size of waves you’ll be riding. Have you settled on your board dimensions yet? The best TwinFin boards I’ve ridden had zero toe-in, and zero cant. Fin placement is the key to both speed and performance.
Well, that’s interesting! I know very little about twins, curious to know more, would like to try building one someday soon.
I once had a 5-11 fish twin I loved, back before I started building boards, and back when I could still ride a little board like that.
Can a twin setup work on a bigger board, i.e. 8 foot range?
Contact Swaylock’s forum member, Lankameese. He has an 8 foot twin fin,(Twingle) that he rides in Florida. He can speak to his direct experience.
This happens to be a big version of a High-performance twin I build.
6’6" x 21" x 2-7/8"
Fins @ 9", 1-1/4" from rail, 8 Degrees cant.
Barry those dots really play havoc with my eyes! But the board looks beautiful, any toe-in on the fins?
Fins are towed in 1/4".
I just finished my ‘modern twin fin’ (Twingle) and I’m already thinking of doing another one, bigger. The best way I can describe the ride is kinda vague: “like a single fin but grippier”. I have it on a small but thick late 80/90’s 5’8" shortboard. Next one will probably be a 7’0 egg/pig.
Also, I’m a shed shaper, so please ignore the burn throughs by the tail
