Enhance the Flow…

All of the fins from the latest shipment have now been added to the online CNC Store and are available for purchase.

These fins are now also featured in their respective series on the CNC fin page.

Check them out.

A new shipment of fins has arrived, bringing us the new XT2 series. Also, the revised A4C BLENDED-WING fins are in this shipment and are featured above. Notice that there has been a color change to the new A4C fins from MANGO to RED. This was done to differentiate them from the regular A4C fins.

We are stoked to announce that we have just received another batch of CNC fins. These include the brand new F8 and H8 series. We now have the remaining sizes for the Q5 series.

All of these fins are now on the website and available for purchase. We are also a couple of weeks away from having ...

We continue to work on the BLENDED-WING update to the A4C-500.

The latest version of the A4C-500BW has some refinements from the first version. We started by moving the bend down slightly further on the fin.

We have also adjusted the shape of the cutaway to make it a little more friendly for cutting FUTURES bases.

Additionally, ...

H8-400C Center Fin

We already have the side fin version of the H8-400 in production. Here is a center fin version that makes for an incredibly high-performance center fin.

It is only 4.00" in height but has plenty of drive and hold due to its shape and area.

We are contemplating adding this fin to our range of CNC fins but ...

We are revisiting one of our older fin designs to see how the BLENDED-WING concept works on a more wing-like template.

After foiling up a set, it is evident that this concept belongs on a fin of this style. Everything about it looks right. Usually, fins with this wing style that are pretty upright can be a little twitchy. The feeling is that ...

The next fin design we will test with the BLENDED-WING concept is the largest version of the Q5 series - Q5-600BW.

A little different than the A4C versions, primarily due to the shape of this fin compared to the A4C. It still has similar characteristics in the outline of the profile, but the HOLOFOILS are different.

We ...

We are stoked to have these new fins in stock in Hawaii and soon at Sanded Australia.

Both setups feature the Q5-375 as the smaller fin and the Q5-550FT ...

With the imminent arrival of the new QFT and Q5 FLIPTWO fins, we wanted to highlight an alternative quad combo.

This one uses the QFT-500 as the larger fin and the Q5-425FT as the smaller fin; using the Q5-425FT as the back fin adds a little more pivot to the combo. In addition, this fin has less area than ...

We have added a larger size to the F8 series - the F8-550FT. This fin is intended for any situation where a larger fin is needed or used as a twin fin.

We decided to add a bigger size based on the feedback on the F8-500FT. It is intended to be used primarily as a twin fin. But it could also be coupled with the F8-425FT to ...

We have added a larger size to the XT2 series - the XT2-550. This fin is intended for any situation where a larger fin is needed or used as a twin fin.

Generally, the XT2 fins are low-area designs to maximize speed. This larger version would be the best choice in situations where more drive is desirable.

It is a scaled-up ...

Over the last few days, we have introduced you to the individual new designs that are in the latest batch of CNC fins. We have brought them together in a single image to show them all together.

Each of these new designs will be in the next production run ordered up. Included will also be some designs that were done in some of the earlier batches ...

F8-425FT TWIN This is the smaller fin of the F8 series, and it serves primarily as the back fin in a quad setup. However, it could also be used as a smaller thruster side fin or a side bite in a 2PLUS1 setup.

It features the same FLIPTWO tips as the larger version and generally is a scaled-down version of the shape. However, it does not have ...

We have added another size to the Q5 series to fit between the standard Q5-500FT and the smaller Q5-450FT - the Q5-475FT. This is ideal for someone looking for a slightly smaller quad or thruster setup.

Like most other Q5 fins, this one also carries FLIPTWO tips. However, it is just a scaled-down version of the Q5-500FT with less area. This ...

The F8 series has its dedicated center fin design for thruster setups - F8-438C. It is a shallow design, but adding an extended blade makes up for the lack of height. Because this blade is deep in the water, it provides a lot of hold and directionality.

This template has an unusual foil through the throat of the fin, where the foil is abruptly ...

This is the largest fin in our new Q5 series - Q5-600FT. This is an awesome twin fin or large fin in a twinzer setup.

The design features the new FLIPTWO flipped tips for increased performance. Along with the Q5-475FT from the most recent batch of samples, this rounds out the fins that make up the Q5 series.

This fin has a lot of area ...

The latest iteration of our classic Hammer fin design is the H8-400. We continue to refine the design of the Hammer fin to make it more efficient and versatile.

This new version brings a better balance to the area of the overall fin, particularly the spread of the area between the blade and the throat of the fin. This fin also has radical ...

The latest samples have been scanned, and we are verifying them to start production.

The F8 fins will be the first fins from this latest batch, to be CNC machined.

The F8-500FT is the main fin in the series that will be used in either a quad or thruster setup. It features our latest FLIPTWO tips and a strong HOLOFOIL—a true performance ...

Since the last update and after comparing the various versions of the F8-463C center fin we decided to add a smaller version of the center to have a better balance in the area with the 500 side fin. This is the new F8-438C center fin.

Since the last update on the F8 center fin design, we have added a smaller back fin for a quad setup and a canard-style fin for a twinzer setup.

We are slowly adding more of the F8 templates to the ...

This is the first version of the center fin design to compliment the F8-500 side fins. The design is similar in profile but it has a much larger tip in order to create a little more power, hold, and feel!

The foiling on this fin is very different from your typical center fin, as there is a distinct fence at the base of the tip. This helps ...

The recent post about the F8-463C center fin detailed the initial design, it has subsequently undergone a few more revisions. These have all been geared toward giving the fin a little more area, a lot more drive, and improved holding power.

After spending the last few days looking at the first version of the F8-463C center ...

At the end of every surf season here in Hawaii, it seems we come up with an idea for a new design. We then spend the rest of the year waiting for the surf to return so that we can do extensive testing on the design.

This time we will play it a little differently with this design. Instead of doing the preliminary testing here in Hawaii, we ...

We are super excited to finally have some of our new CNC machined fins in stock. These are the first of many, and they look really good!
