Mandala Surfboards - 6'10" Twinzer Fish Surfboard

Description

Inspired by the brilliant Wil Jobson and his efforts to bring the Twinzer to the world, my twinzers are a homage to his genius. For a few brief moments in 2005, I was able to spend some time with Wil in my shaping room in Santa Cruz, where I watched him shape a few dozen boards for Mandala. Most of what he did was very precise, with subtle concaves and 99% of the shaping performed by a highly-modded Hitachi with some custom parts that he machined himself. Planer straight to screen, very advanced work that reflected years of thoughtful design and execution. 

Years later I dug up my notes from those shaping sessions and combined Wil’s Twinzer design concepts with my own fin templates, while integrating some golden ratio fin placements and spacial relationships. My goal has been to continue Wil’s work in creating a more efficient twin fin design, with more drive and less cavitation than the traditional twin fin set up. The results have been working extremely well across a multitude of designs, from eggs to fish, to step-up boards meant for targeting larger surf. 

I hope that one day I’ll cross paths with Wil (he’s a very hard man to find) and I can show him all of my inspired designs. Until then, I’ll keep the torch lit and keep these small dreams alive.


The Mandala Surfboards Twinzer Fish is a modern take on the classic fish outline, tuned with a high-performance Twinzer fin configuration for added drive, control, and speed. Designed by Manny Caro, this model blends the glide and flow of a traditional fish with the added hold and efficiency created by the leading canard fins working in tandem with the main twin set.

Built for everyday surf, it excels in small to shoulder-high conditions where wave energy needs to be converted into instant speed. The fuller outline and generous surface area make paddling easy and wave entry early, while the refined rocker and bottom contours help maintain control through turns. Compared to a standard twin fin, the Twinzer setup adds noticeable projection off the bottom and more stability through critical sections without sacrificing looseness.

The result is a fast, responsive and highly versatile fish that bridges retro feel with modern performance, making it a strong addition to any quiver focused on fun, speed, and flow in variable conditions.
