QUOBBA FINS

Hey Glenn, thanks for taking the time out to catch up with us. So, surfboard fins have been around for a while – what gave you the idea to try to revisit the design?

Well, I wasn’t trying to ‘reinvent’ the fin, just substantially improve their performance so that kitesurfers and surfers have more fun and enjoyment in the water. I discovered that studies have shown water turbulence at the fin base is generally much greater than previously thought. The patented design of the Quobba fin helps to change the fin base turbulence to a more ordered water flow, which in turn brings more speed, lift and hold.

What are the main design features of Quobba fins, in comparison to the typical standard fin shapes used over the last 50 years?

The most noticeable design difference (we term it ‘hydro transfer technology’) is the shape of the fin
