This fin looks fast but will I ever get enough wind to use it?






I guess I will also need a board to use it with!

Looks like it is not moving at all to me

Picked up a 29cm in this fin only used it a few times now, holds on in the chop very well and feels real nice, outline might be similar to goldwing but nothing alike, finish is the best I have seen in a g10 fin and well priced.

Correct for a guy my size I will need a lot of wind to use a fin this small!

Don't be fooled by the black and red pin striping.

It looks like pin stripping but it is not!

I have been trying to work out how they do it as it seems integrated into the fin. As Chocco said they are very well finish they are the best finished G10 fins I have seen and seem to sail as good as they look.

Maybe that it is 10 years ago.I used this outline and worked a cut out at the base
and doubleconcave (diagonal.)Later found I that elliptic outline is faster. They were made all with rake 17°. 3-4 years ago the first rake 30° speedfin.I worked
the fin wider and she made 50 knots topspeed with Thomas Döblin. 22cm.
100% carbon. Now I work some fins only at the base wider,they start earlier to plane,good for GPS. Its a wide base fin. Please look: www.designlessacher.eu

Hi Legless. Come to speed fortnight. You won't get a better chance to use it!

That looks like a very nice Alpha fin to me for a 30 knots Sandy Point Easterly. I volunteer to try it for you.

You might be right unfortunately I am unable to get down there. It is looking like we might get 30+ knots of wind here on Thursday
