|We are really stoked on our new bamboo core fins…they have been working much better than all of the other fins that we had been using on our SUP’s…
We’ve employed some Feng Shui properties by installing them on our carbon SUP’s…Deb is raving about how much better the 9.25″ feels on her carbon 11’2″ Blend than the carbon SUP race fin she had been using…more strokes per side…less drag…and, easier through the kelp beds…
The rake angle allows for better distribution of the surface area of the fin…more hold and lateral resistance…when verticals are drawn from the leading edge (LE) of the fin to the trailing edge (TE), there is more horizontal distribution of the surface area…this lower aspect ratio helps to prevent the tail from washing out when hit by side chop when flatwater paddling…but, because we have engineered progressive flex into the tip area, we’ve also made a fin that increases the board’s surfability…you can have your cupcake…and, eat it too…;-)
Just received a new batch of the WARDOG fin designs with bamboo cores fresh out of the oven at Rainbow Fins here in California…US box center fins…Futures and FCS side biters…
