 Hi, I'm Tori Strange from the surf station surf shop in St. Augustine, Florida And I'm here today to tell you about fins in longboards. How many fins do you want? The single-fen rides great. This is where it all started. A single-fen glides well through the wave It turns well. It knows rides well It's trusted by longboard surfers the world over Tri-fins. Tri-fins are the most popular in shortboards In longboarding, they're used for carbby turns and holding power They're real versatile. You can get a little more umph out of your turns with that inside fin, pivoting on that inside fin Has a little more drag than say a quad Or a single-fen. You've got a carpet, but all around it's very popular Especially where there's where the waves have a little more power Imagine taking your twin-fen and adding two Stabilizers for extra holding power and you have a quad. Quads have of course more drive than a twin-fen They're really fast, a lot faster than a twin-fen, but they don't slide at all with the extra holding power. They're carvy They're noticeably faster than a single-fen or tri-fen So you may ask why isn't the whole world riding quads? Well, they don't know ride as well You want to ride your quad in more of an open-face wave for carving or when you want to Beat out sections on small summer mushy days. They're definitely fast and really a lot of fun
