Your surfboard fins are an essential ingredient to wave riding. Fins make the board go straight and enable you to turn. It seems like such a simple concept, but fin science can get rather complicated! Don't let it overwhelm you. This fin guide will help you figure out how they work and how to optimize your own setup.
Surfboard fins have gone through a number of different style changes and technological advancements over the course of Surfing history. Until the 1990's, fin design was mostly ignored. Today, however, fin science is almost overflowing with information and innovation.
The first surfers didn't have the advantage of fins…they controlled their boards by dragging one foot in the water! In 1935, Tom Blake introduced his nub keel fin and the rest is history. There are many types of surfboard fins on the market today, from removable models to the glass-on variety.
At the most basic level, you have two options of fins: Glass-Ons and Removable Fins. After that, there are other options within each category to consider.
Glass On Fins
Almost considered a throwback, glass-on fins are becoming more and more rare as removable fin systems gradually take over the market.
Removable Fin Systems
Removable fin systems are the current popular choice among shapers and riders. The ability to remove and change fin templates has ushered in a whole new way to customize your board and improve your riding.
