The CI Noserider fin, developed through extensive R&D by Devon Howard, Troy Mothershead, Chuck Ames, and Wayne Rich, is purpose-built to provide confident noseriding while maintaining trim, balance, and responsive turning. Unlike traditional pivot fins, it anchors the tail for solid nose hold without creating a heavy, clunky feel, encouraging smoother rail-to-rail transitions and stylish, drawn-out turns. Designed primarily for the Channel Islands Noserider longboard shaped by Wayne Rich, with its refined nose, tail, rocker, and bottom contours, this fin also complements other traditional noseriders seeking secure nose hold without sacrificing maneuverability.

Form | Narrow tipped pivot fin, wide base, full foil

Function | excellent hold, reduced tip area and enough rake for smooth turns

Feel | stable from all points on the board, turning freedom, plenty of hold

Overall | Well balanced modern pivot fin
