Overview
Fine-tune your setup. Add control. Find your flow.
The Surfboard 5th Stabilizer Fin is a versatile fin designed to give surfers another way to tune their board's handling and feel. Featuring fiberglass honeycomb construction, this fin can be used as an additional fifth fin in a compatible quad setup or as a pair of rear trailer fins with a twin-keel configuration.

Confirm the fin-base type and dimensions with the supplier. Use the included screws and fin key only with compatible hardware, and follow your board manufacturer's installation instructions. Ensure every fin is secured correctly before entering the water.
