4 Way Fin Systems


 

As a surfer you instinctively know that sometimes subtle refinements to your equipment can produce remarkable effects on your performance.

Have you ever wanted more performance from your surfboard and felt there were still many questions which remained unanswered? Well, the search is finally over! At last a fin-system that pushes your surfboard to the cutting edge of your ability.

The 4wayfinsystem (4wfs) is a multipurpose fin system that allows surfers to not only remove their fins for traveling/replacement purposes but also allows for further simultaneous adjustments to three critical area's of fin functionality, comprising:

  • toe-in and out angle
  • splay angle
  • horizontal adjustment

Each fin assembly consists of 3 core elements:

  • the fin itself,
  • three pre-angled circular discs and
  • a box which is firmly secured within the board.

All 4wfs fins are precision manufactured from a super strong, resilient and lightweight compound that eliminates the excessive flex found in so many of today's fins. Light weight/reduced flex/extreme Responsiveness = Superior Performance.

Each fin fits snugly into an interchangeable circular disc, with each disc capable of rotating up to 4 degrees in either direction within the box secured in the board. For example the following combination, all achieved with the same fin, increases the surfboard’s manoeuvrability and responsiveness:

  • The fins are moved vertically up towards the nose.
  • The fins are “toe’ed in” towards the nose of the board.
  • The angle of outward fin splay is increased.
