Designer Bio: Merrick's fin design philosophy emphasizes controlled flex and responsiveness paired with practical hydrodynamics, creating the legendary Channel Islands FRP fins with moderate base width, balanced rake, and flat foil construction. His fins—engineered across thruster, 2+1, and alternative configurations—remain the most versatile and commercially dominant fin templates in modern surfing.
