ANNOUNCEMENT

We have turned off the ordering of these specialty fins until we reach a point where we have time to make them. Due to their complexity, they take up a lot of time, which impacts being able to deliver the regular custom fins. For the short term, we are putting them on hold. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Designs that are outside the box

Besides our regular fins, there are also some innovative but more unusual designs.

This page showcases several of our more unusual designs, primarily wing fins.

We have been making wing fins for many years and continue working on new designs and ideas to improve the performance and manufacturing of this fin style.

Range
SPECIALTY Fin Range

DRV Series

This is the latest series to be added to our range. It follows in the footsteps of our other single-fin designs, featuring a very narrow base with a substantial blade.

This design features a narrow base and spine that blend into a large blade. The blade provides a lot of drive with very little flex, except for some torsional flex. The narrow base allows the fin to perform tight turns, and, coupled with the fin's rake, it will enable the fin to be placed further forward on the board, further enhancing its turning ability.

The size range of this design is currently reasonably small, as not much fin is needed to achieve high performance. We recommend riding these fins as small as possible. As we gain experience with the design, additional sizes might be added.

The foiling on these fins is unique in that the spine is only foiled on the leading edge. The back edge is left completely blunt, allowing the water to flow unimpeded off the back.

It works well in edge-style boards but will work equally well in a 2PLUS1 setup.

SIZE: ranges from 6.00" to 8.00" in half-inch increments.

WTR Series

The WTR series are one of the most recent designs we have been working on for winged side fins

The series borrows some of the design cues from the DRV series for the outline of the fin.

It features a single wing extending to the side at a roughly 12° angle. The wing features a high aspect ratio, which enhances lift generation while maintaining a low wetted surface for reduced drag.

These fins are intended to be used as side bites in a 2PLUS1 setup or as back fins in a quad setup.

The design features a narrow base for good turning ability, coupled with a full body for drive. The wing not only generates lift to lighten the tail of the board, but also comes into play late in the turns for improved pivot.

SIZE: ranges from 4.00" to 4.50" in quarter-inch increments.

While these sizes are the default, others are available on a custom basis.

Color Choices

We have several different standard color panels for custom fins.

The color panel images below are taken from fiberglass panels, so they are as close as possible to represent the colors. Sometimes, we might be out of a specific color, so be prepared to have an alternate choice. The ordering system will show the in-stock colors.
