Carbon Fibre fins
This is a serious fin for the power surfers out there: a medium/large template with flat sided foils combined with the stiffness of Carbon ensure maximum power and drive. If you are serious about laying some rail and chucking buckets of spray, you need these in your board. The twin tab base is compatible with any FCS plug system or the advanced Surfinz system that we use in all Tiki boards – stronger and with the added bonus of ¼” movement forward and back.

Futures Fins
Techflex YU
Our smaller template for the large sized light footed surfer. The large base is designed for power off the bottom and thin tip for fin free manoeuvres. A mix of honeycomb and carbon construction allows the fin to open out so the cant will increase as the fin flexes in the middle (where there is no carbon). This enables the fin to generate more lift. The carbon in the tip makes the tip extremely responsive.
