Switch Blade Fins


This is NOT a “Flexible” Fin. SwitchBlade fins are RIGID control surfaces that improve surfboard, and surfer, performance. A complete analysis of the forces and dynamics of how a fin influences surfboard performance can be very complicated.

The SWITCHBLADE fin technology breaks traditional barriers by introducing a mechanical advantage for the surfer to establish a turn, or “bank angle,” with less force. The SWITCHBLADE provides ideal fin performance by allowing less resistance to rolling the board onto the rails.

At the same time, the SWITCHBLADE fin locks into a position that provides more surface area to counter act the force of a turn. Therefore, a smaller SWITCHBLADE fin does the same work as a larger conventional fin.

Turning from Rail to Rail
Pivoting action of fin reduces resistance to turning. Allows board to snap from one rail to the other.

Cranking Steep Turns
Increased turning power due to more fin surface area projected into the water.

On Face of Wave
Conventional fins can slip-out when tracking down the line. SWITCHBLADE fins kick into the wave for more traction.
