Description

Program

The ultimate all-round dolphin fin, fast, smooth, and capable of doing everything on a longboard.

Overview

The Poster is inspired by the most iconic longboard fin templates. It perfectly embodies the balance between glide, maneuverability, and drive, making it one of the most versatile fins in the range. Unlike pure noseride fins, which are highly pivot- and stability-oriented, the Poster introduces more speed and projection while still retaining enough control to remain accessible across a wide range of conditions.

Its outline features a solid base that provides strong hold, followed by a quick taper into a very fine tip. This refined tip is essential for reducing drag, improving glide, and adding flex through turns. The result is a highly fluid fin that naturally guides the board through its lines and allows for long, elegant turns.

Template

Classic dolphin fin template. The rake is pronounced, favoring long lines and projection. The board maintains speed through turns and naturally draws smooth arcs in the wave.

Base

The base is wide, which generates drive and maintains control in turns. It acts as a solid anchor point to absorb the surfer’s power.

Depth

The depth is moderate to significant depending on size, allowing good grip without overly slowing glide. It balances stability and freedom.

Surface area

The surface is concentrated on the base and lower third of the fin, then tapers strongly into a very thin tip. This design reduces drag and introduces flex at the tip, improving flow and drive.

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 Poster is designed for almost all surfers. It suits beginner to advanced levels and beyond. It is ideal for those looking for a simple, efficient and versatile fin. In the water, the Poster delivers a feeling of controlled freedom. It accelerates easily, recovers well out of turns, and allows smooth linking of sections.

It is a perfect fin for progressing and surfing every day. It is aimed at surfers who want a reliable all-round option.

What is it for?

The Poster is an ultra-versatile fin suited to modern longboards, pigs, some mid-lengths and eggs. It performs in a wide range of conditions. It blends glide, maneuverability and drive. Ideal for daily use. A go-to all-round reference, designed for surfers who want fast glide, smooth surfing and a flow-based style rather than tail-driven surfing.

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.
