Sneak preview – surfsouthoz to launch range of removable surfboard fins
These designs were developed over several months using CAD ( computer aided design ) and advanced 3D solid modeling, with high quality, high volume production in mind. The fins are produced by a precision CNC ( computer numerical controlled ) milling machine, to tolerances of less than ±0.5mm. Laminated fibreglass impregnated with polyester resin and colour tints gives a pleasing aesthetic, reminiscent of old style twinnies and early 80’s thrusters. The repeatability and finish ensures every set looks and performs identically – with none of the variances found in hand foiled fins.
Our templates are based on tried and tested outlines and foils, but tweaked and refined to give that little bit extra. Normally fins like these would be hand made for pro surfers, typically tested, re-shaped, and re-tested over and over until they are perfect. The fibreglass laminate gives a feel very much like a glassed in fin – fairly stiff, but very positive and predictable.
The Rincon features a smaller center fin with moderate sweep, and slightly larger, more upright side fins - resulting in a fin that turns in tight arcs, but accelerates quickly out of turns. This template will be a hit with light to medium weight surfers that push their fins hard, or find composite fins in a similar shape lacking drive and hold in good waves.
Our fibreglass laminate fins are produced by a world renowned manufacturer, and with a price point just under AUD$90, are about $30 less than similar fins of identical quality in a surfshop. If you’d like to get in early and reserve a set, drop us a line at store@surfsouthoz.com. First shipment is expected end of November, so we’ll let you know the minute they arrive. We can also arrange secure credit card payment and overnight shipping… so you get ‘em fast.
Great fins at a great price!
