Product Description

Plastic Fins to fit your surf kayak. Each supplied with stainless steel screws and plates.

Surf kayak fins assist turning of a kayak, much as rudders and ailerons help boats or airplanes turn or manoeuvre, by providing largely lateral resistance and lift, with some vertical lift component depending on the orientation to the vertical of the fin in the water. Without any fins, a surf kayak in a turning manoeuvre would tend to spin out, whereas with one or more fins, a surf kayak rider can use his or her weight to control the yaw angle of the fin while riding a wave, and can use the attached fin or fins as a lever against which to turn the kayak, to optimally position the kayak, and to enjoy a good ride.
