HONEYCOMB KEEL FIN Ⅱ SINGLE TAB
$76.00
Lightweight and highly flexible, these Honeycomb keel fins are compatible with Futures fin boxes. Despite their retro appearance, they offer high performance due to their height, striking a good balance between speed and turning performance, characteristic of keel fins.
By widening the base of the fins, you can experience enhanced drive ability during turns, thanks to their strong sweep (warping), allowing for enjoyable large turns. These fins pair well with fish boards, providing surprisingly stretched turns. Additionally, when combined with a mid-length board, they enable quick turns, enhancing overall performance.
The Honeycomb Keel fin II Single tab is versatile, suitable for a wide range of surfboards, from short fish boards to mid-length ones.
In addition to nanazero surfboards, they are also compatible with surfboards equipped with Futures fin boxes.
*Please ensure to check the specifications of the fin box before purchasing.
*This is a set of 2 fins, left and right. Install them with the logo side facing outward.

Term related to Fin
We will explain the terminology and principles behind the elements that define the characteristics of fins:
Base
The length of the horizontal part where the fin meets the surfboard.
A longer base enhances drive power and facilitates speed gain. Conversely, a shorter base improves turning performance and makes turning easier.
Depth
The length (height) of the vertical part of the fins protruding from the surfboard into the water.
Greater depth increases stability but also increases turn resistance. Conversely, smaller depth results in smoother turns but sacrifices stability.
Area
The area where the fin extends outside the fin box.
A larger area enhances stability and drive power but increases resistance. Conversely, a smaller area facilitates easier turns.
For longer boards and heavier riders (and boards), a larger area is required.
Sweep
The angle of inclination of the fin.
A greater sweep angle increases stability and drive power but also increases turn resistance. Conversely, a smaller sweep angle improves turning performance, results in smoother turns, and reduces turning radius.
Foil
Bulges on both sides of the fins.
Foil controls water flow. The "50/50" configuration, with bulges on both sides, is commonly used for center fins. The "Flat" configuration, flat on the inner surface and bulging on the outer surface, is commonly used for side fins.
Cant
The angle at which the fin is tilted from a vertical angle of 90 degrees to the bottom surface of the surfboard.
Center fins are usually at 0 degrees (perpendicular to the board), while side fins are angled a few degrees. This angle increases water resistance when the board is tilted, enabling sharp turns.
