Here is a sneak peek at the new range of Creatures Fins that are arriving at Zak Surfboards shortly. With their new range of fins, Creatures have endeavored to simplify the art of picking the right fin.
Creatures have designed 2 distinct styles of fins for each of their team riders – the Vert series and the Arc series (pictured here are Mitch Coleborne’s).
The Vert Series are designed for tighter, snappier turns, with quick direction changes and surfing in the pocket in mind. The Vert series are a more upright fin with less sweep or rake (up to 33 degrees).
The Arc Series have been formulated for extra drive, carves & drawn-out turns. These Arc fins have been designed for longer, down the line waves (with more sweep or rake – over 33 degrees).
All the Vert & the Arc series fins are then available in 3 different sizes which you can pick according to your weight :
Small less than 65kg, Medium 65-80kg & Large 75 – 90+kg
These are also 3 different constructions that you can choose from:
Core Flex – a lightweight construction with a fluid flex pattern
Carbon Flex – a slightly stiffer lightweight construction that has a more responsive feel
Pure Fibreglass – a stiffer base with a more natural flex pattern through to the tip, with the most similar feel to traditional glassed on fins
You will also be pleased to hear that all of these Creatures Fins will be available in both FCS & Futures Fin compatible styles. With a set of both Vert and Arc Series fins appropriate to your weight, you should be covered for virtually all conditions 🙂
