A Wave-Catching Mid-Length with Shortboard Spark
The Blue Fin sits perfectly between performance and practicality. Designed for surfers who want to boost their wave count without losing that rail-to-rail feel, this mid-length hybrid—offered in sizes from 6'6" to 7'10"—delivers both glide and agility in one sleek package.
Built with full rails and generous deck foam, the Blue Fin is incredibly easy to paddle and catch waves with. Whether you're transitioning from a shortboard or just want something more forgiving, you’ll appreciate the extra volume immediately. The slightly pulled-in nose adds just enough performance to handle late drops and steep sections, while still keeping things stable up front.
The tail rocker flip combines with a single-to-double concave to provide surprising drive and responsiveness, especially for a board this size. It turns tight when needed, trims beautifully down the line, and feels much livelier than your average mid-length.
The standard tri fin setup gives it a reliable, familiar feel, but the board also shines as a twin or twin-plus-trailer, offering style flexibility depending on your mood or the conditions.
Pros:
Excellent paddling and early entry due to full rails and added volume
Surprising performance in steeper waves for a mid-length
Versatile with multiple fin configurations
Great crossover board for longboarders or aging shortboarders
Cons:
May feel bulky for high-performance shortboard purists
Not quite as nimble in tight, vertical pockets
Needs thoughtful sizing to balance volume vs. maneuverability
Summary:
The Blue Fin is a versatile daily driver for anyone who wants more waves with less effort, but still enjoys carving turns and getting on rail. It's a great fit for intermediates leveling up, shortboarders adding volume, or longboarders trimming down. This board blends cruisy flow with sneaky performance, and it does it without asking you to compromise.
