Find the ideal fin setup for your shortboard.

GONG offers 6 fiberglass thruster models that can radically transform the way your shortboard performs. From speed and control to maneuverability, find the perfect balance to surf at your best.

Start by choosing the feeling you’re looking for:

The Power if you prioritize pivot and radical maneuvers.
The Round for their versatility.
The Project for acceleration and control.
The Leap for speed and balanced performance in all conditions.
The Wall for drive, stability and long drawn-out turns.
The Liner for dynamic acceleration out of turns.

Then choose the right size:

Your weight, power, board volume and usual conditions are all key factors.

A larger fin provides more hold and control: it suits powerful surfers, higher-volume boards and fast waves.
A smaller fin reduces drag and makes the board livelier and more maneuverable, especially for lighter surfers or in smaller conditions.

The right thruster setup is the one that gives you the best balance between speed, control and maneuverability.

Check out the full guide to find your ideal setup.
