SINGLE FINS
NAMED AFTER LOCAL SURF SPOTS IN AND AROUND JBAY, SOUTH AFRICA
SALTY 8"-10"
Our take on the traditional classic all-round dolphin fin. Reliable, versatile, high performance, and suitable for all conditions. It suits most boards from mid-lengths to more classic logs. Works well as part of a 2+1 setup.
POINT 6.5"- 11"
Our most popular fin shape by far!! It is versatile in giving you speed, quick in those turns, and accessible to nose-ride. It is reliable and suitable for all conditions. It suits most boards from mid-lengths to more classic logs.
SUPERS V1 6.5"- 10.5"
Oh, Supers, you are just like our local famous JBay surf spot it is so aptly named after. Inspired by the Greenough 4-A. It is versatile and works with just about anything. Well-balanced, a full base and tapered to a moderately flexible tip.
SUPERS V2 9.75"
Supers V2, with its wider base than our Supers V1 is going to give you more drive and the slightly fuller tip more hold and stability on the nose. Well-balanced, with a base of 8.25″/910mm full base and tapered to a stiffer flexible tip.
ALBATROSS V1 8"- 10.5"
Inspired by the DT flex fin, with a slightly bigger tip and a bit stiffer in foil. This is for longboarders and classic loggers to give you speed, maneuverability, and ample opportunity to hang 5, hang 10, and walk your walk! It suits most boards from mid-lengths to more classic logs.
ALBATROSS V2 8"- 10.5"
Our V2 is also inspired by the DT flex fin, but the tip remains slightly smaller and has a touch of flex. This is for longboarders and classic loggers to give you speed, a little more maneuverability as the V1, and ample opportunity to hang 5, hang 10, and walk your walk! It suits most boards from mid-lengths to more classic logs.
COINS 8", 9", 10"
It is all about speed and responsiveness. A great fin to try on boards that you want to loosen up a little. The upright profile will lend a vintage yet speedy and responsive feel to any mid-length or ‘70s-era style single fin. Works well as part of a 2+1 setup.
TUBES 9",10", 10.5"
Tubes has a narrow tube-like shape with a wide circular section that leads to a flex tip. This flex fin is all about maneuverability and responsiveness. You’ll get enough speed and the ability to hold in the wall on those big waves.
CHESTNUT 9.5", 10"
Our Chestnut was designed by Lesley Zonnekein, the founder of Surf Neutral. It is a mix between the George Greenough fin which provides great responsiveness in your turns and the Gato fin which is great for nose-riding. Lesley wanted a fin that gives stability on the nose while not compromising the turns.
MAGNA V1 9"-11"
Inspired and modified from the original Hatchet Fin, which was designed and popularized by Dewey Weber in the ’60s. It is a great choice for your classic 9ft+ longboard and provides a bit more versatility (turnability) than the D fin. Turning with fins like these is typically accomplished by moving towards the back of the board and pivoting from the tail.
MAGNA V2 9"-11"
The Magna V2 operates in a traditional manner. Uncomplicated and reliable, its sleek contours are designed to provide sturdy support during prolonged nose rides. The design isn’t overly dramatic, thereby ensuring good cruising and quick turns when required for re-adjusting positioning in the pocket or manoeuvring around sections. Just place it in the back of the box and witness its performance.
BONEYARDS 9.5", 10"
Boneyards is a boomerang-shaped fin with a narrower base and midsection for flex and a bulbous egg-shaped top end which gives a forward motion flick through turns. You can expect greater conductivity, responsiveness, and maneuverability.
COBBBLES 9"-10.5"
Our flex fin with its tapering foil, an extended amount of rake, and a narrow sensitive tip has excellent maneuverability and a wide enough base for drive while also giving you stability on the nose. Works well with your glider, pintail logs, square tail logs, or wide-tailed mid-lengths.
SECRETS 7.5"-8.5"
Our secrets center fin never disappoints. It has just enough rake to give you the continuous speed needed to connect your turns but upright enough to keep you mobile and free. This one works well with 3.5 side bites to complement your speed, but it works well on its one also. Excellent with your performance longboard.
HULETTS 6"-7.5"
Our Huletts single fin has a wide base and lots of rake which ensures stability. The narrow tip allows for easy turns and an overall smooth ride. Works well with mid-lengths and as part of a 2+1 setup.
SEALS 6"-7.5"
Rigid foil with a wider base gives drive and holds in those turns. Works well as part of a 2+1 setup.
GEORGE BUNTING 6.5"-7.5"
Designed by the late George Bunting, shaper and surfer. His intent was to use this as part of a 2+1 setup for his performance longboards. It gives drive, holds in the turns and enough stability to get to the nose.
See our George Bunting side bites to get the perfect setup.

TWIN FINS

JBAY FIN DESIGN
SPECIAL EDITION
STORM TWIN FINS
Ride the power of the storm with the new Storm twin fins. Inspired by the majestic maneuvering of humpback whales and the raw force of weather systems, these fins deliver optimized speed, control, and responsiveness for your mid-length surfboard.
The humpback’s flippers hold the key to their agile movement, featuring tubercles along the leading edge that revolutionize fluid dynamics. The whale-inspired tubercles enhance lift for tighter turns, while preventing stall at high speeds. It’s genius millions of years in the making, proving once again that nature perfects designs eons before humans have the chance.
The color palette mirrors the beautiful chaos of storm systems—the weather forecast colors swirl together just as they do on the weather radar. Foiled by JBay’s Cronjé Wessels and tested by our team riders to find the perfect balance for optimal performance.
The 6.75″ profile and bulbous bow generate intense drive and hold, while the tubercle-lined leading edge provides enhanced lift for tight turns. You’ll feel the speed on takeoff and the looseness through turns, with a layer of control that makes riding twins totally intuitive.
Pair it with the 2.5″ Lyra trailer in the Storm color palette if you’re riding on your backhand or if you just want a bit more bite in your turns.

BRUCE'S BEAUTIES
The brainchild behind this design is raw-unconstrained speed… it feels like there’s a supercar under your feet. With a slightly wider base and a tight curve back into a more straight-up twin fin with a Sting on the Tail. The straight-up twin allows for a sharp pivot point to go hard off the bottom, and then the Sting on the Tail is the cut-off tip right at the end of the fin, which allows you to get that little extra bit of release when you want to drift the tail just a little more in a carve or off the top re-entry.These Twins can be used in a modern fish design and allow range into your more performance-based twin fin boards.
Height 135mm/5.32″
Base 128.2mm/5.05″

BRUCE'S BEAUTIES TRAILER
Taking the incredible amount of speed that you get from the Straight upright Twin and then combine with the control and precision of the mini-me version of the upright twin as a smaller Trailer fin. This 2+1 set-up allows you to push as hard as you like without any compromise of losing any power throughout your turn from a releasing tail. Always great to add in the trailer fin when the surf gets a bit more solid with more power so you can attack every section with pinpoint precision.
The Twin + Trailer fins go best in any high-performance board, or if you want more control on your mid-length Fish Twin design, the trailer will provide that extra bit of stability.

SURFER SERIES
DIE SEEKAT
Introducing “Die Seekat”. Translated into English “The Octopus,” South African surfer Jan Lodewyk du Toit got his nickname “die seekat” or “the octopus” from his ability to “stick” to the board no matter the conditions and challenges in the water. He has had this fin on his mind for a long time. He wanted to create a fin with the stability of a traditional D-fin and the drive and release of a raked dolphin fin.
This fin ticks all the boxes for someone who wants to surf classical in a radical way.
-available in 10.5″ only
-available in limited edition coloring as designed by “Die Seekat” aka Jan Jodewyk du Toit.

DESIGNED BY LEGENDARY SURFER/SHAPER HUGH THOMPSON
HUGH2
The Hugh2 Twin Set was designed as a dual-purpose Twin fin. It’s a slightly more upright “pivoty” fin with an ample base for drive. The tip carries a little extra swept back area which adds to the drive and excellent responsiveness when used in a slightly more hi-performance board.
Available in sizes S/M/L

MIKE MEYER POWER FIN
Legendary South African surfer/shaper Mike Meyer was inspired by Robbie Ponting and Dick Brewer for this Power Fin.

This allows the surfboard to accelerate in the power zone and hold the surfboard in the wave—excellent holding power when needed going through turns. Acceleration comes from the entire area of the fin.
