Howdy Partner, some thoughts on fin cant, I'm enjoying a pair of small Bonzer fins from a quad set on my Outer Island the increased cant seems to add a better hold on steeper faces enabling better nose riding higher on the face but I also think there is some venturi effect where the bottom contours blend to the fin base the tail seems to be holding better but there is no significant tracking

Add a Bonzer system to your flotilla, there is much to be gained in Fin experimentation

Looks fun!

been doin some surfing with 2 tiny little fins ( training wheels I call em )...lots of fun..

finless is so fun, if you dont wanna give it a go, thats cool, each to their own but it is honestly so refreshing, very challenging, but fun once you get it sorted....surfers are funny, there even seems to be negativity towards people willing to try this type of surfing and its from people who havent tried it yet, so many narrow minds in the surfing world, and for a creative thing such as riding a wave, surfers ( the majority imho but not all ) have become a narrow minded bitter bunch.....my rant is over....

Hi FrankiG Welcome to the forum and belatedly Australia I read your bio and realise that you may not have been aware that in America and here,there have been twin fins as long as there have been fins, back as far as Tom Blake and Bob Simmons see attached-

circa 1943, Tom Blake Twin fins, Timber 4 x 12 b @ 2 inches (Approximation) Hollow timber board. Note fin camber. The feet are Tom Blake's.Uncredited photograph, Australian Surfers Journal Vol 3 No 1 Summer 2000 page 10.There were Foley Boards two finned short (for 1961) 6ft badly shaped by modern standard slugs,Nipper Williams made Twin fins out of Brookvale in the sixties.There are more references to twin fins all the way up to modern times inweb site Surf Research.Other than your first two sentences couldn't agree more.Didn't like riding the foley board much but I could take it on the double decker bus from Dee Why to Manly to get a thrashing at Fairy Bower and when MR did the twinny thing later I stuck with singles until ASA (After Simon Anderson).Been surfing since 1958 it's certainly made my life better and I will keep surfing

There were no twins around 40 yrs ago. Must be dreaming. There have been huge advancements since thirty/forty years ago. Plan shape, size, rocker and rails have all undergone functional improvements. The combined collective advancements make for a much more functional surfing experience. Off course it all depends what level of surfing you have aspired to to appreciate this. If just a melow layback surfer, not into placing and snapping board around, you wouldn't recognise the enhancements anyway.Designs have peaked and been pretty stagnent for the past ten years.As long as there are humans around, expect advancement. We have been created to create. The question is what will be created next that will be functional but stay within conventional parameters.Making Life Better. Keep Surfing

k so in summary, if I want to do 360 degree spins I get one of these if not dont bother?

Yep, often wondered if the last 30 years of board design were a bit of 'change for change sake'. Materials and development different story but maybe we had it nailed in the early 70's?

Its hard to compair boards from almost 40 years ago , but I had a Nipper Williams twin-fin,and I reckon it would out perform most modern fishes----maybe I'm dreaming...............
