Bamboo Hobie Fish Fins

Reeling from a burgeoning fish revival, Hobie surfboards has chosen this twin fin template to fervently guide its Circa ’71 fish model. Just for kicks and industry bravado, we decided to grind off a few extra sets and push the addictive little bastards upon the world. As any drug dealer with good product would say, this s#*t sells itself! With a blunt tip, 7″ base, and a full leading edge, the Hobies are now our most traditionally styled and popular twin template. Also available in RTM composite.


George Greenough Fins by: True Ames

Amidst his wind generators, blue ocean boats, and camera housings, George Greenough had enough energy to revolutionize fin design. A seed of the revolution, the 4-A has a narrow, flexible tip that enhances maneuverability and a flared base for increased stability and drive — an ideal combination for the point surf George fancied.

Check out our selection of George Greenough surf fins.

Greenough Stage 6
George Greenough’s close friends know that the only thing that kept the budding ex-patriot in California was his interest in windsurfing, which spawned the Stage 6. While George found the combination of a ‘stiff leg’ and ‘active paddle’ to generate powerful turns, we also find the bigger sizes to be powerful on the tip.

Greenough 4C

Taking cues from the pattern of human evolution, George’s templates found it adaptive to become less wild and more upright, resulting in the birth of a new species. The 4C shares the 4A’s mild tip flex, but it has less rake and base, permitting mid-length eggs and logs a lower radius, looser turn.
