Bamboo Fins


Marlin at 101 Fins sent over these beautiful handmade bamboo fins. These are his personal "K9" template designed to take advantage of bamboo's unique flex characteristics and years of San Diego quad research. Front fins are single foiled, rear fins are double foiled. They're going in the biofoam 5'9" for a visit to Blacks tomorrow.

EDIT: I've been riding these fins for the past few days at Blacks and the Cliffs and they are amazing! The board feels extremely fast with a new springy bounce off the bottom turn. The bamboo has a crisp flex that sends you flying out of turns with speed, speed and more speed. Thanks Marlin, these fins are fantastic.
