Good fin specially for SUP

This is a nice fin with some flex that allows nice turns, I have it on a 10 ft longboard but I think it will work even better for a SUP. Nevertheless, it works fine on a longboard especially if you want to noseride.

Pros
  • Fins
Cons
  • The cleaning process can be time-consuming and requires effort and care

Doesn't fit good for me

This Dorsal fin doesn't fit in the Dorsal 10.5 inch fin box. I had to sand down the sides of the fin where it is supposed to slide into the box.

Pros
  • VERSATILE: Suitable fin for Longboard / Surfboard / Stand Up Paddle in all conditions.
Cons
  • The fin's size may not fit all types of surfboards and paddleboards, which limits its versatility

Great deal on my review.

Came just as described. Works well it was for an old school single fin fun board that I taught the grand kids how to surf on Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Nice fin for paddling up rivers. It can handle the sudden bangs into shallow rocks.
Cons
  • It is relatively expensive compared to other surf fins available in the market

Good looking. Good value and works great

A good fin for the price, Hard to beat in comparison to other fins on the market. Dont spend too much, get this fin! That's my review.

Pros
  • I bought it for my daughter! She loved it! It’s on her board now!
Cons
  • The color options available are limited, which may not cater to one's personal preferences

Fits Great best in my review

It work great until I got hit sideways be a wave, then it snapped off. It’s kind of hard to blame the product for a rogue wave, I’m buying another one to replace the one that broke. It seemed to have good control and looked great.

Pros
  • Amazing fin. Will come back for more. Flexes plenty and gives a good amount of drive.
Cons
  • The fin may cause drag that can slow down the paddling speed and limit surfing performance

Cute color good for me

Although the product looks good by itself but it didn’t work for my board even tho I was sure it’s the right one and the little bolt for it wasn’t there

Pros
  • Beautiful and arrived quickly!
Cons
  • The fin may not provide enough stability and control for experienced surfers

Beginner fun for my opinion

So I was concerned because it was cheap and cheap fins rarely do what they are supposed to. However I needed it for a soft top board that is 9’ long to help my kids learn. This allowed more flexibility as they began to start turning. For the money the value is great and also awesome when you have kiddos still thinking it’s a great idea to ride up on the sand. for more advanced riders I’d say spend the $ but first year or so this is a great fun at a great price

Pros
  • Durable and stiff enough. Fin is sharp in rake area so need to sand it some to keep from cutting leash.
Cons
  • Not compatible with certain types of paddleboards and surfboards

Did not fit my SUP on my review.

I have a V3SL SUP and did not fit the fin box. the base is too short and when I went to press in the fin to screw it down it would not fit. I could force it, but it'll likely break or mess my fin box up. I may keep it for my other regular long boards/ midlengths.

Pros
  • SPECIFICATIONS: Depth: 789 and 10" Base: 6.5" and 8" Rake: 28 degree
Cons
  • It is not designed for advanced surfing maneuvers that require quick turnarounds and sharp turns

Beautiful! for my opinion

My paddleboard's original fin was functional enough, but I wanted a flashier one.This fin is lighter yet very strong. It allows easy maneuvering in both currents and flat water.

Pros
  • Surfing
Cons
  • The fin's design may not suit all surfers and may require additional customization to fit one's riding style
