The log cutaway fin designed to combine noseriding and stylish turns.

Overview

The Lokin takes inspiration from traditional log fins while integrating a cutaway design that partially frees up the board. Its template combines a straight front section that promotes pivot, with a more extended rear section that adds rake and drive. This combination creates a fin capable of stabilizing the board while noseriding, while offering more freedom through transitions and line changes.

The Lokin delivers a very unique feeling: the board remains stable and controllable in the pocket, but becomes more fluid and lively as soon as you engage into turns. It allows smooth combinations of pivots, trims, and more committed turns without ever feeling locked in. It is a fin that opens up new possibilities for surfers looking for a classic style without being limited in their surfing.

Template

This is a large cutaway template. Moderate to significant rake. It adds drive and projection while preserving pivot thanks to a straighter leading section.

Base

Relatively wide base. Ensures control and stability in turns. Maintains good hold in the wave.

Depth

Deep. Promotes stability and noseride, while maintaining hold in turns.

Surface area

Generous surface but with a specific distribution. The cutaway reduces drag and improves maneuverability.

Setup

The single setup is a configuration based on a single center fin. It prioritizes stability, line reading and smooth trajectories. The fin acts as the main anchor point, guiding the board with precision and continuity.

The feeling is stable and linear: the board holds its line, glides easily and favors long, drawn-out curves rather than quick directional changes. Surfing is built over time, with progressive engagement in each turn.

This is an ideal setup for smooth and controlled surfing, focused on trim, long lines and a natural connection with the wave.

Technologie

Nos dérives sont fabriquées à partir de plaques de fibre de verre pleine masse, ce qui garantit une excellente solidité et une grande fiabilité. L’usinage dans la masse permet d’obtenir des formes très précises, fidèles au design initial, pour un comportement sain et constant dans toutes les conditions. Cela permet aussi de développer facilement différents templates et d’ajuster les performances selon les besoins.

La même construction est utilisée sur toute la gamme, assurant une cohérence de flex et de sensations entre les modèles. Ce procédé, largement éprouvé, offre une très bonne résistance aux appuis puissants et une excellente durabilité.

Résistantes à la torsion, aux impacts, ainsi qu’à l’eau salée et aux UV, ces dérives conservent leurs performances dans le temps tout en restant simples à entretenir et réparer si besoin.

Buying guide

Who is it for?

The Lokin combines classic noseriding with a more dynamic surfing style, making it ideal for surfers who like to vary their approach on a retro longboard. It suits those who alternate between nose riding, trimming, and turning.

It is suitable for intermediate surfers. It enables creative and fluid surfing. This fin is for those who do not want to be locked into a single style. It is designed for curious and inventive surfers.

What is it for?

It is ideal for retro all-round longboards, modern logs, and boards that allow a mix of noseriding and line surfing. It performs well in a wide range of conditions, but especially in small to intermediate waves with enough open face.

It combines nose stability with the ability to draw lines through the wave. Ideal for surfers who want a log capable of more than just noseriding. A fin that blends classic style with modern performance.

What size?

For large retro logs and noseriders, sizes 9” to 11.5” are the most appropriate. The more you prioritize nose riding, hold, and stability, the larger you should go.

As always:

larger = more stability, more hold, more control
smaller = more glide, more freedom, more maneuverability

The right choice depends on the board, the surfer’s weight, wave speed, and surfing style.

Minimum size favors: glide, speed, maneuverability

Maximum size favors: stability, control, noseriding

Example for a 9'2 longboard

9” → more speed and maneuverability
9.5” → more stability
10” → more noseriding

Light surfer → slightly smaller size.

Heavy surfer → slightly larger size.

A simple rule is to choose a fin roughly one inch longer than the board length. This works especially well for classic longboards and noseriders. For more modern or shorter boards, you can slightly reduce size to improve maneuverability and speed.

How to choose between two close sizes?

Within the same fin range, the difference between two sizes (for example 10” and 10.5”) may seem small, but it noticeably affects board behavior.

Example: choosing between 10” and 10.5” on a 9’ longboard

With 10”:

the board feels more lively
turns are easier to initiate
slightly faster glide

With 10.5”:

the board is more stable
the tail stays more anchored in the water
easier noseriding

The 10” suits a more versatile longboard or a surfer who likes to turn. The 10.5” is better suited for a noseriding-focused log.

You can also adjust based on surfer weight, on a 9’6 longboard with the same fin:

a 65 kg surfer may prefer a 10” for more maneuverability
a 85 kg surfer may prefer a 10.5” for more control and hold

Weight directly affects pressure on the fin, and therefore the surface needed for stability.

Adjust based on waves

In slow, soft waves, a slightly larger fin helps slow the board down and stay in the pocket.

In fast or hollow waves, a slightly smaller fin makes transitions easier and increases freedom in turns.

Adjust based on surfing style

noseriding and classic trim → choose the larger size
more turns and freedom → choose the smaller size

When in doubt between two sizes, ask yourself: “Do I want more stability or more maneuverability?”

Larger → stability, noseriding, drawn lines

Smaller → glide, speed, freedom.
