MISCELLANEOUS Series
H8 Series
The current generation of the Hammer fin design. This is the 8th generation version of this design, which continues to evolve as one of the best choices for an excellent rear fin in a quad setup or as a side bite in a 2PLUS1 setup.
These fins have effortless turning abilities while providing lots of drive and hold for such a small fin. This latest version has less area than the previous iteration to better balance performance. The throat has a shape that is better at generating lift to help with performance. While the upper blade is now more fully foiled and carries the foil vertically across the entire blade.
They can be combined with most of our large quad front fins to add a whole new dimension to a quad setup. They are also popular as side bites in 2PLUS1 configurations.
Due to the shape and rake of the upper blade, these fins provide a lot of drive out of a turn as the edge will engage late into the turn. The Hammer design has been part of our range for a very long time and continues to evolve, and this version is the most current production version. We feel this version has brought this design to a point where it is now well-balanced in capabilities and can be utilized in various conditions.
H8 Series Details
H5-400 TWIN CNC
The latest version of our HAMMER fin design is optimized for use as a back fin in a quad setup.
The H8-400 features our unique HOLOFOILS on the inner face. The H8 has less area than the earlier H5 version and with a little more rake. The shape has been optimized for performance and versatility. The foiling has also been updated to suit the general shape of the fin better.

H8 Fin Combinations
There are no specific combos for the H8, as it is generally used with other fin series as a back fin in a quad setup.
These combos can be seen in the appropriate fin series.
The H8 also makes a great side bite in a 2PLUS1 setup.
K9/PWR Series
The K9/PWR series is a new design series. These are only available as a quad set as the fins are matched.
It starts with the K9-450K, our KAHI cutaway keel fin. This fin provides a great combination of drive, maneuverability, and speed. The most prominent feature is the extreme cutaway. We call this cutaway style a KAHI. The cutaway keeps the base of the fin very narrow, allowing the board to turn quickly. While the rake and blade still provide plenty of power and projection. This fin serves as the engine for the combo.
It is paired up with the PWR-400 as the back fin. This fin serves a very distinct role. Due to the shape of the fin, the primary purpose is to add extra drive and speed later in a turn. This fin is commonly set up with a slight overlap inside the front fin. The shape of the fin concentrates the area down low, where it can add extra tracking and drive to a turn. Thereby complementing the front fin.
Both of these fins feature HOLOFOILS that improve their efficiency.
These fins are ideally suited to fish-style boards where a twin keel setup is typically used. They have also proven to be excellent for kneeboard fish-tyle boards.

K9/PWR QUAD CNC
Specifically designed as a quad setup with matched fins. These are intended to be used on boards with an overlapping quad layout for the best performance.
These work well in fish-style boards, especially in kneeboards. They are only currently offered in these two sizes.

Because this is a matched set (SPLIT KEELS) there is only the one quad combo.
WS2 Series
The WS2 series is a second-generation version of our split keel design. They have undergone some minor tweaks in bringing them to our CNC range.
This series comprises only two designs - a front fin WS2-400FT and a back fin WS2-475. The front fin features our new FLIPTWO tip design for better performance and transition speed. In addition, both fins feature extensive hollow foils on the inside faces, again geared towards improved performance.
These fins can be used in many boards but are especially well suited to fish-style boards. When placed correctly, these fins can provide an enhanced twin fin feel but without the twitchiness of the typical twin fin.
The split keel design depends on the fins being placed as close together as possible for the best performance. By this, we mean the fore-n-aft placement. In addition, because the fins are essentially keel fins that have been split into two separate fins, their functionality depends on a tight cluster.
However, this setup can still work well in fin setups that are more spread out; they are just not as optimal as a tight cluster. These two templates can also be used separately, although the design was intended to be used as a quad setup.
We do not currently sell them separately; they are always sold as a quad set.
WS2 Series Details
WS2 QUAD CNC
These are the updated versions of our WS2 split keels. These new versions have the following tweaks to the design. The front fin features our new FLIPTWO flipped-tips, PHAT FOILS, and HOLOFOILS.
The larger back fin has a slightly tweaked trailing edge at the base with a cutaway that enables easier placement on FUTURES bases. It also features the addition of PHAT FOILS and HOLOFOILS.
The shape of the front fin has a lot of rake, giving the setup a lot of speed and improving the projection. This increased rake also helps the fin's role as a transition fin, where it is designed to initiate turns and then transfer the drive onto the back fin once into the turn.
The matching back fin for this set is the WS2-475. This is the main driving force of the setup. Features a shape that distributes the area fairly evenly throughout the fin but with more area in the tip than normal fins. This shape gives the fin power and speed when coupled with our HOLOFOILS. The projection from this fin setup is amazing, making it good in a wide range of wave heights.
Works exceptionally well on fish-style boards. But it works best if the fin boxes are arranged in a tight cluster.

This is the 5th generation version of this design, which continues to evolve as one of the best choices for an excellent rear fin in a quad setup.
These fins have effortless turning abilities while providing lots of drive and hold for such a small fin.
They can be combined with most of our large quad front fins to add a whole new dimension to a quad setup. They are also reasonably popular as side bites in 2PLUS1 configurations.
