Seth Bowman recently sent me a few more photos of him ripping on his 5'7" Jobson Bat-tail Twinzer in the chilly Santa Cruz surf...brrrr. Wil Jobson invented the Twinzer design back in the early 80's, a little-known fact despite the design's popularity with well-known fish shapers such as Larry Mabile and Mike Hynson. Very few shapers have acknowledged Wil Jobson for the design, and I'd just like to make sure that everyone knows who's actually responsible for such a great improvement on the twin fin design...
Here's a picture of Wil shaping one of my last Clark Foam 62C's into a beautiful 5'11"...
Great post Manny
