FInS

Fins are what give you traction and more in a wave. Without fins you would slide down the face of a wave, fins puncture the waters surface and allow your board to hold onto the wave, fins allow your board to grip the face

Removable vs Glassed-on

Removable Fin Systems
These fin systems allow for easy change of fins dependent on wave size and conditions. Removable fins also ease on the transport of boards, painless changing of fins based on surf conditions and easy replacement of a broken or damaged fin.

Glassed On Fins
This fin system is the strongest and smoothest type of fin system as the fins are apart of the board. Glassed fins are typically found on vintage boards
