JS Industries Big Baron   The Big Baron features a low rocker throughout, giving it a ton of speed while paddling and trimming down the line. The bottom features vee throughout, blending into a double concave through the tail, which provides drive and holds without restricting rail-to-rail turning. The low rails allow for aggressive turns at speed, and the round tail adds control when the waves get hollower. The Big Baron thrives in playful waves between waist-high and overhead and particularly excels in drawn-out waves where the full template provides effortless flow between maneuvers. The board cleans up your surfing by forcing you to focus on...

What A Vektor Fin Can Do On A Surfboard?   There has always been a performance gap between twin fins/quads and thrusters. Twins and quads are fast and loose because the fins on either side of the board create drive and there’s no middle fin dragging through the water and slowing the board down. But the lack of a center fin comes with a sacrifice, because twins and quads are not able to be surfed as aggressively top-to-bottom as thrusters. Because they don’t have the stability of a center fin, they tend to spin out or bog when they are...

Thrusters vs Quads  How to Choose Your Fin Setup   A Brief History of Fins on Surfboards Owning a surf shop means spending a lot your time talking about surfboards, and one topic that people ask me about practically every day is the difference between three fins and four fins on a board.

Written By Matt Rode (Surfline's head of Maps to Nowhere series)   Once you have chosen the right board for the conditions and your abilities, it is important to also match that board with the right fins. There are four main fin clusters that are used on surfboards, ranging from single fins (slowest and most “retro,” but provide a lot of hold and a classic feel) and single fins (also retro, but faster and looser) to thrusters (modern three-fin setup) and quads (a modern tweak on the twin fin, which includes trailing fins on each side). Generally speaking, single fins...

RETRO TRIPPER FISH Matt Biolos and the crew at …Lost have always loved short, stubby, fish-inspired shapes. In fact, they have two full-length films featuring nothing but fish hybrids: 5'5" x 19 ¼" and 5'5" x 19 ¼" Redux. These films and the performances of the …Lost team on short, fishy boards went a long way toward re-popularizing the fish and hybrid design for modern surfers (in addition to revealing crazy waves such as Skeleton Bay in Namibia). True to its ethos of constant fun and refinement of board designs, …Lost released a new fish-inspired shape in mid-April 2022. Based on the Retro...

Unparalleled Drive, Speed, and Control with the Vektor Fins Like many of Hawaii’s progressive surf designs, the Vektor Fin system found its start in the Waialua Sugar Mill. Ryan was foiling and cutting fins for other shapers, and started playing around with his own templates—just to do something different, with a focus on drive. Once the fins were developed, he started testing them on the North Shore, refining the templates and foils after each surf. The fins started out pretty big, but after a lot of hands-on R&D, the were shrunk down a bit to their current size. When you...

How Sugar Causes Inflammation and Messes With Our Bodies Photo by Valeria Boltneva  As many of you know from my blogs and newsletters, I’ve been struggling with some joint pain over the past few years, mostly from injuries that I’ve picked up from surfing and other activities. I actually have a number of friends who are in the same situation, and we often chat about our injuries and pain and how to do away with it. The other day I was chatting with a friend in the water, and he mentioned that his acupuncturist told him that one way to reduce...
