Technical Specifications

Compatibility & Installation

Before purchasing, verify the fin's height, base width, and fin-box compatibility with your surfboard. Board length alone does not determine the correct fin size; the board's design, tail shape, fin box, and intended surfing style also matter.

Install the fin using the appropriate compatible hardware and follow your surfboard manufacturer's instructions.
