Also, have you checked the sharpness of your fins? Glass on fins can be razor-sharp! In fact, fin cuts are probably one of the most common surfing related injuries. Its a good idea to take a piece of sand-paper and lightly sand the sharp edge of your fins. Or check out SurfCoa’s Pro Teck Fins, which feature a rubber-coated edge to help reduce the risk of lacerations to yourself or others. Available at most surf shops or online.
The new X Foil Fins are sharper, thinner and provide a more extended, flexible trailing edge. These fins glide through the ocean faster and more fluidly than the original Pro Teck Fins! New Tonal Colors available, with both smoke and pearl white edges. Fins come in Reg Edge 75A and Stiff Edge 85A. New Carbon X Foil fins are now available in Stiff Edge 85A, FCS - 4.25g" only, and FFS 4.25m" & 4.5s"
Some people avoid Pro Teck fins because they’re afraid people will think they’re a kook or a pansy. I have to admit, the bright yellow on some of the models does not help the situation. Thankfully, Surfco Hawaii has come out with some more discreet black and silver models. This draws less attention to the fin and scream “Kook!”
Pro Teck fins tend to be avoided by advanced surfers and the more “hard core” crowd, but I would recommend them to anyone. It doesn’t take much to have a board spring back at you on a leash or land on a fin after an aerial. I would ESPECIALLY recommend them to beginners who can’t completely control their board. Use them until you at least have some control.
