SUP Fins for Control, Stability & Direction
A SUP fin is one of the most important and most exposed parts of a paddle board. It plays a key role in maintaining stability, tracking straight, and improving overall control. With the right fin, your board glides straighter, feels more stable, and performs better—especially over longer distances or in more demanding conditions.
Because fins are exposed to impacts, they can get damaged or lost. That’s why we offer a wide selection of SUP fins and spare parts, so you can quickly replace a damaged fin and get back on the water.
SUP Fin Materials – What’s the Difference?
SUP fins are made from different materials that affect weight, stiffness, and performance.
Plastic SUP fins
- Durable and affordable
- Lightweight
- Ideal for beginners and recreational paddling on flat water
Fiberglass SUP fins
- Lighter and stiffer than plastic
- Better power transfer and tracking
- Improved control and efficiency
- Great choice for intermediate and advanced paddlers
Carbon SUP fins
- Lightest and stiffest option
- Maximum performance and speed
- Faster acceleration and better energy transfer
- Designed for advanced paddlers and racing
Touring SUP Fins – What Size Should You Choose?
The size of your center fin significantly affects stability, tracking, and versatility.
9-inch Fin
- Ideal for sea, lakes, and longer distances
- Classic touring size
- Excellent tracking and stability
- Often included with sport/touring SUP boards
- Helps maintain straight paddling and higher cruising speed
8-inch Fin
- Versatile all-round option
- Suitable for mixed conditions
- Better for slightly shallower water
- Good balance between tracking and maneuverability
7.3-inch Fin
- Designed for rivers and shallow water
- Flexible rubber construction
- Less likely to snag on obstacles
- Extremely durable and impact-resistant
- Ideal for low water levels and river paddling
Screw-In Touring Fin
Most center SUP fins attach using a screw and plate system (US box style), ensuring a secure and stable fit.
A screw-in fin:
- Provides stronger attachment
- Improves tracking and control
- Prevents unwanted movement
- Performs better at higher speeds and longer distances
For proper installation, you’ll need a fin screw and plate to keep the fin securely fixed.
River SUP Fins – Less Snagging, More Safety
For river paddling or shallow conditions, shorter rubber SUP fins are highly recommended. They are more flexible, reduce the risk of snagging, and are nearly unbreakable. This improves control and safety in moving water.
