| 222438 | 11248 | Twinzer Design/Experiment. | 95 | WillieP | Oct 6, 2021 | 2021-10-05T21:12:19-0400 | WillieP said: Actually, the post points out that the board Is a 2+1. As the post explains, the position of the side bite slots were positioned very similar to the position used by Larry Mabile on the Honey Badger. What I did not say in the post is that relative position of the rear fin slots to the canard slots were very different on the Mabile as compared to a Mitsven twinzer. Bob Mitsven consulted with Stun Kenson on the placement of the boxes since Bob doesn't do many twinzers and he and Stu are located in the same area. So there are definitely more than one school of thought out there. Click to expand... My leading sentence was meant to be facetious so it was misleading. The real reason this experiment happened is that SC Surf wanted a Honey Badger with a twinzer/single fin set up. When I would not sell him mine, he took matters in his own hands. He decided to take a Mitsven Magic, a board very similar to a Honey Badger both in terms of outline, bottom contours and rocker, and add a twinzer set up based on the configuration used on the Honey Badger. The alternative was to hunt down Larry Mabile, place an order, wait 3-10, months, and pay a lot of money. If it turns out he doesn't like it as a twinzer, he can always use it as a 2+1 or with single fin. I can sure you, as the pictures in the post kind of depict, a lot thought and effort went into the placement of the the rear boxes. |
