This is a performance fin designed for a 2+1 longboard or midlength board. Edouard uses the 7.5-inch fin with his signature 4.57-inch sidebite in his 9'1 Pro competition longboard from Minvielle x Torq Surfboards. The design concept is for powerful performance surfing from the tail with enough grip for nose rides. The medium width base in combination with Edouard's larger sidebites provides a powerful drive. The fin comes off the bottom well and carves with a committed feel on the wave, more like a thruster setup. It is quite upright, with a medium rake and a narrow tip, making it very responsive. Edouard uses this set in big barrels where small adjustments are crucial, especially on a 9'1 longboard on a steep wave. On a 2+1 longboard, use the 7.5" with big sides or the 8'5" with smaller sides for drive and agility. On midlengths, the 7.5 with large sides provides a very stable yet responsive ride, perfect if you're transitioning from a shortboard. Ideal board: Edouard Delpero Pro Minvielle x Torq or any performance 2+1 longboard and midlength. Ideal conditions: From knee-high waves to overhead barrels. Base: fits US box. Material: solid fiberglass. Scope of delivery: 1 fin with fin pocket and fin screw
