Wayne Rich Fins
Santa Barbara, California
Seventeen templates, and they fall into two families. The Power Fin and the Power Tilt sit low and grip: rake 35, hold 85, flex 20. They are drawn for a heavy board and a wave with a wall in it. The Harmonic '67 goes the other way — rake 75, flex 55 — and trades some of that grip for a longer arc off the bottom. The twins, the side bites and the trailer are the same Santa Barbara point thinking in a smaller fin. What you will not find here is a loose quiver. If you want the tail to let go, this is the wrong page.
