The Fin
The Lovelace FM Twinzer set was specifically designed to be paired with Ryan's FM board model. The front nubs have a single foil with a flat inside, while the rear twin design features a double 50/50 foil. This unique set offers lots of speed, drive, and the ability for heavy rail carves and fluid arcing turns when paired with the proper board. Here are some more design notes from Ryan... "These fins were designed specifically for the pretty oddball placement of my FM surfboard design; over 2" off the rail on mid lengths and nearly parallel; either with or without the leading fin depending on the rider's preference. The overall template plthe fact that they're double foiled aims them pretty definitely at midlength twin designs, drawing connected, arcing carves. There is considerably more surface area on this template than most average twins. So if using them in an alternate surfboard than the 'FM' model they were designed in conjunction with, I would suggest they be used either in midlength twins, by larger surfers on 6' range twins, or surfers who really like to weight the rail and load up drive. Alternately, the Piggyback keel is a very similar template and at a smaller size more suited to 'normal' sized twins."

What people say
It holds through carves like a quad but keeps the freedom and squirt of a twin -- somewhere between the two, with more bite than a plain twin and less track than a locked-in quad.
This is the matched set for an FM or a similar off-the-rail, near-parallel mid-length twin, where it draws long, connected, arcing carves with real hold. It pays back juicier waves more than small mush, and if your boxes are in a conventional twin position, a standard twin set will sit better.
More About This Fin
The Lovelace FM Twinzer is a four-fin set Ryan Lovelace designed for his FM mid-length: a pair of double-foiled rear twins plus a pair of small single-foiled front canards with flat inside faces, made by True Ames in solid fiberglass with Futures-compatible trailers and FCS-compatible leaders. The template was drawn for the FM's box placement, more than two inches off the rail on mid-lengths and close to parallel, with the canards seated forward and outboard of the twins.
