The latest generation of the Q family of fin designs - Q5!
We have worked on this design for over a year and will complete the final testing this winter. They represent the next advancement in the Q series of fins, with functional and versatile designs.
The Q5 still carries forward the elliptical outline of previous series versions but features a more upright stance and refined blade tip. In addition, the shape of the cutaway has been refined to be more effective and to enhance its functionality on FUTURES bases. The cutaway keeps the base narrow for tight turns and maneuverability.
The other significant advancement with the larger versions of this template is the addition of the FLIPTWO flipped tips. This brings another level of performance to an already excellent fin. In addition, it enhances turns and adds a little extra feel late in the turn.
As with previous versions, it still carries a HOLOFOIL on the inside face, but it is a little more extreme in this design, improving speed and overall performance. The addition of the FLIPTWO tips has allowed these foils to be further enhanced for more speed.
This series is all about smooth power and versatility!
A wide range of templates make up this series, and with the latest production order, all of them are now available.
This template is the smallest fin in this series. Intended for use as the front fin in a TWINZER or as a small trailer in a TWIN setup.

The Q5 design is more upright than the Q2 series, with a distinctive cutaway. It still features an elliptical outline that provides smooth power. These fins feature slightly less area than the current Q2 fins, but due to the improved PHAT FOILS and HOLOFOILS, they still have plenty of drive and much more speed.
The other big difference is the addition of the FLIPTWO flipped-tip that enhances speed and maneuverability.

HANALEI FINS cannot guarantee against the breakage of dual tab bases. The DUAL TAB system is designed to break under specific loads or hard impacts.
We try to make the tabs as strong as possible, but there is only so much we can do before we run into the limitations of the base design.
If a DUAL TAB base does break, we will work with the customer to replace the fins at a reduced price, but we cannot outright replace the fins at no charge!
HANALEI FINS cannot sell individual side fins should you lose a side fin, as it means we have to break up a set of fins. So we are left with a fin that we have little chance of selling by itself.
If a fin is lost, we will work with the customer by selling a set of replacement fins at a reduced price. These replacement fins would not be in a bag to keep the cost down!
For anyone interested in our fins featuring FLIP TIPS, please be aware that these fins are sensitive to the amount of toe-in used in the box setup, so it is worth checking with us.
We have encountered several cases where fin boxes set up with excessive toe-in have caused issues with fins featuring FLIP TIPS. We want to ensure there are no problems with our fins. Therefore we are offering to verify that they will work in the setup on any given board before buying any of these fins.
Before you order any of these fins, if you are unsure whether they will work on your board, please CONTACT us so we can ensure they will work for you!
