This fin gives a responsive and powerful feel on long point breaks. The slim design cuts through water smoothly without adding drag. I’ve used it on my edge board and it’s noticeably more stable than standard fins.
Sean Fraser –
Great for wave transitions and maintaining speed. Works well on mid-length boards too. A bit sensitive in small waves, but overall performance is impressive.
