CRAZY FINS
Whilst out in Morocco i took a set of fins ive been eyeing up off one of my kiteboards and was ‘tres’ impressed
The fins are off the new NORTH KITEBOARDING ‘race limited’ board .A funny looking set of fins, angled twin blade-fins with symmetrical foils produce high lift and very little drag.
The ride on my GONG greedy 10’2 quad was amazing – so much speed in big waves i really had to stick the paddle in the water bigtime to slow down!
In smaller waves the fins performed very well too, lots of speed straight from takeoff i have since been playing around with different placements in the mini tuttle box setup use on all GONG stand up paddleboards
see the pictures – tried this setup yesterday in 3ft Gower surf and was very suprised -really loose off the top and lots of speed off the bottom (not what you would expect)


If your considering getting a STAND UP PADDLEBOARD ‘SUP’ this summer look no futher than a ‘GONG’ Galaxy of new Generations
we have stock of 9’3, 9’11 ,10’2 and 10’8
