TWIN FINS
NAMED AFTER CONSTELLATIONS-AVAILABLE IN FCS, FCS2 AND FUTURES UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED
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.

ORION
The Orion twin fin is a good all-rounder fin inspired by the MR twin fin. It will give you the speed and drive you need to get off the bottom of the wave fast for clean turns up top. Down the line you’ll accelerate to have enough speed and drive. Recommended for all board types, including fish, funboard, and twin fin boards.

ORION TRAILER

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″

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.

DRACO V2
Draco V2 is a bit more stable than the Draco V1 due to the tip that carries a bit more volume. It also allows for excellent responsiveness and release just when you need it. It generates a lot of speed and drive. It is ideal for mid-lengths to longboards. Inspired by Greg Webber.
