AM2 Honeycomb

The AM2 Honeycomb combines the large Al Merrick template with a medium flex pattern, making this fin a versatile option for bigger surfers in comparison to the Techflex and Fibreglass models. The AM2 Honeycomb fin is designed to perform in a variety of conditions and has a wide base for drive off of the bottom, more rake for big carves and a finer tip for release off of the top.

RRP: £75
Fins: Thruster

Stretch

The Stretch Quad was designed by Santa Cruz shaper William ‘Stretch’ Riedel to generate speed and drive. The honeycomb material combined with a concave foil on the front fins provide a softer flex pattern ideal for building speed, while the inside fins include Stretch’s unique beak-tip template to provide ultimate performance.

RRP: £95
Fins: Quad

Firewire 5 fin

The Firewire 5-fin set was designed with a solid carbon base to increase drive through turns, along with a bamboo/honeycomb core to create a lively flex for release. Though having a lot of surface area, these fins feel like a smaller set of fins when used as a thruster. When riding this set as a quad, the rear fins act as a pivot, giving you tighter radius than a traditional quad set.

RRP: £125
Fins: 5 Fin
