Twinzer Fins Explained
Why Twinzers Feel Faster, Smoother — and More Controlled Than Standard Twins
Twins are fast.
Quads are controlled.
Thrusters are predictable.
But Twinzer setups?
They sit in the sweet spot between glide and grip.
If you love twin speed but want more projection and rail hold, start with the right canards:
👉 3.25" Twinzer Canard Fins – Natural Pro Glass (FCS Compatible)
What Is a Twinzer Setup?
A Twinzer uses:
• Two main twin fins
• Two smaller forward canard fins
The canards pre-condition water flow before it reaches the rear twins.
If you're building or tuning a modern performance twin, pair your canards with:
👉 5.5" Power Twin Fins – Pro Glass (FCS II Compatible)
or
👉 5.4" Twin Keels – Pro Glass (Futures Compatible)
The rear twin template dramatically affects how the Twinzer feels.
How Twinzer Fins Actually Work
Twinzers:
Reduce turbulence
Increase lift efficiency
Improve projection
Maintain glide
For surfers currently riding a traditional twin setup like:
👉 Upright Twin Fins – Natural Pro Glass
Adding canards transforms the board’s hold without losing freedom.
Twinzer vs Standard Twin
If you’re currently riding:
and feeling occasional slide at high speed, Twinzer canards add rail security without introducing centre-fin drag.
Twinzer vs Quad
If you're debating between a quad and a Twinzer, read:
👉 Quad vs Thruster — Which Fin Setup Is Faster?
Then compare with a quad set like:
👉 Classic Quad Fins – Natural Pro Glass (FCS Compatible)
Twinzers feel more fluid.
Quads feel more planted.
How to Tune a Twinzer Setup
Small changes matter.
To increase projection:
Use larger rear twins like the Power Twin
To loosen feel:
Reduce canard size slightly
To maximise hold:
Increase rear rake

Designed for Australian Conditions
Fast beach breaks reward:
Early speed generation
Rail control
Clean projection
Twinzers excel here — especially when paired with:
👉 Power Twin Fins – Pro Glass Series
When Not to Use a Twinzer
If your style is tight vertical snaps, you may prefer:
👉 4.5" Classic Thruster Fins – Pro Glass
Different tools. Different feel.
Final Takeaway
Twinzers are engineered flow systems.
Pair the right canards with the right twin template, and you unlock:
More speed
More projection
More hold
Smoother transitions
