Product Overview
Our stiffer and larger area line of fins. Great for heavier riders applying greater power in high wind and wanting more drive in low wind. Also suitable for lighter riders in onshore conditions or for those wanting more 'release' to learn taka's and other wave/freestyle moves. Upright template gives better 'pivot' for in the pocket riding.
Flex: LOW
Sizes 13-18cm US & SLOT heads.

These sizes will actually be similar to the sizes you would use in G10 but feel looser, lighter, grippier, more controlled with more drive and hold through the turns, at the expense of some low end early planing power. You'll also notice the flex will sling-shot you out of your turns and provide grip at extreme angles where stiffer fins would leave you bum checking as the tail slips away.
Please note that wider boards and/or heavier/taller and/or less skilled riders will require longer fins than those shown in the table and vice versa.
In really windy choppy weather, you may also choice bigger fins to make the board more 'planted'.
