HANALEI FINS BLOG

Where all the latest news about HANALEI FINS can be found, we tend to put all of our announcements here, as well as information about new designs and the testing process.

Some of the historical blog posts from previous years are slowly being moved into the new blog. Initially, all of the most interesting ones will be moved over. Eventually we hope to get all of the old posts up here so they are accessible.

Most of the new posts also get placed on our Facebook page, so they can be read there as well.

Q5-600FT

Q5-600FT TWIN

Written by: | Posted on: | Category:

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 for good drive, but it is still small enough to be used in a quad setup with a smaller back fin. The area of the fin is focused through the center where it is most effective in generating lift. The presence of the FLIPTWO tip also helps lift generation. This tip allows the HOLOFOIL to flow through to the tip transition, making the fin more efficient.

This design is smooth, with the elliptical outline common to all the Q5 fins. Smooth power!

By adding this larger version to the series, we have made it possible to create a wide range of combinations. This makes dialing in the perfect setup for a quad much easier. With the right size selection, one can balance out the need for turning ability or drive.

Coupled with the Q5-375, this is the perfect large fin for a twinzer setup.
