Besides our CNC, HRD-KORE, and CUSTOM fins, we also produce a range of single fins. Some designs are unique and have been around for many decades.
The different series shown here cover a wide range of capabilities and uses. All are produced in fiberglass with bases to fit standard longboard center boxes. These fins are all handmade; no molded fins are in this range.
For now, only a tiny portion of the designs are shown. More will be added over time.
Single fins can now be purchased directly from this page on each fin series card.
Clicking on one of the cards below will take you to the section of the page for those fins. All fins can now be ordered directly from this page. Navigating to the store to order custom fins is no longer necessary!
In the USA when selecting a shipping option, a USPS FLAT RATE PADDED ENVELOPE will only accommodate up to a 7.50" single fin. The safer choice is a MEDIUM FLAT RATE box.
NOTE: when purchasing single fins, they are made on a custom basis, these are not stock items, so the standard custom delivery time frames apply 6 - 8 weeks. These times are often a lot less, but it is safe to assume it will take a while.
This is the latest series to be added to our range. It follows in the footsteps of our other single-fin designs, featuring a very narrow base with a substantial blade.
This design features a narrow base and spine blending into a large blade. This blade provides a lot of drive with very little flex except for some torsional flex. The narrow base allows the fin to perform tight turns and, coupled with the fin's rake, will enable it to be placed further forward on the board, further enhancing the turning ability.
The size range of this design is currently reasonably small as not much fin is needed to get a lot of performance. We recommend riding these fins as small as possible. Additional sizes might be added as we gain more experience with the design.
The foiling on these fins is unique in that the spine is only foiled on the leading edge. The back edge is left completely blunt, allowing the water to flow off the back unimpeded.
It works well in edge-style boards but will work equally well in a 2PLUS1 setup.

SKU: HFINS-SP9-SINGLE
This series is the oldest in our range, it was the first fin we designed and made in 1972! It has had minor tweaks over the years but is still one of the best single fins. The "T" stands for Thumb fin!
Most of our single fins can trace their origins back to this design. It has stood the test of time and is still just as viable as 50 years ago! Hard to believe it has been around that long, but that alone says something about the design.
It features good flex and exceptional holding power due to the amount of rake. The very narrow base allows it to turn on a dime, making it very fast due to reduced drag. Because of the rake, the fin can be ridden much further forward on the board, which also helps it turn well.
It has a smooth, almost "no fin" feel in the water until it is pushed. It then responds with an incredible pop-out of turns. In the smaller sizes, it works well in a 2PLUS1 setup but excels as a single fin!

SKU: HFINS-TSN-SINGLE
The TX is the latest generation of our oldest TS, first made in the early 70s. This series has been through many refinements over the years, including the T2 and T3, finally culminating in the TX.
TX has a more upright body with an elongated upper blade. The design of the body makes it very efficient and the narrowness allows it to be pivotal.
While the upper blade allows the fin to flex, giving it a lot of pop out of turns. Plus, due to the amount of rake, the fin can be surfed much further forward on the board without impacting the holding power.
Because it is so efficient, the fin does not need to be very big to be effective. While it looks very different from the original TS, it still has many of the same characteristics—speed, pivot, and drive!
It works well as a single fin but is also great in a 2PLUS1 setup paired with one of our smaller side fins, like the A4C-425 or, for a more radical approach, one of the Hammer series (H5).

This series is the very latest single-fin design that we have released. It is a derivative of our GS design but with a much narrower and more flexible blade.
