Critical factors are:

• Base width providing drive for acceleration.
• Depth giving grip and hold.
• Sweep supporting pivoting.
• Foil creates speed and drive.

These culminate to provide the ultimate blend of a fin’s characteristics suited to each particular board. Different boards require different fin configurations, whether it be quad or tri (sometimes both), as well as with various sizes (lengths and widths). It has been with great care that the best combination has been tested for each of the boards throughout the range.

The Hexcel composite fins are designed to maintain the flex characteristics of a fibreglass fin, whilst reducing the weight, but also maintaining strength. It has been found that an optimum response/flex for SUP’s of shorter length and larger waves are these stiffer Hexcel fins for instant response.

The injection molded (PA+GF 30%) fins provide the added flex found suitable for larger boards and smaller surf for a smoother sensation through the arc of a cutback.
