Hanalei LS SINGLE Series 7″

This is one of our newer center fin design, it is loosely derived from the new LS side bite design that is used in some of our quad setups. Carries forward many of the design elements of our Thumb and Hammer series of fins with the same distinctive tip area, placed on top of a fairly narrow mid-section.

This combination provides maneuverability, projection, and speed. This fin has a lot of properties similar to the Hammer series of fins but without the kelp catching bulb at the leading edge and slightly less area. The leading edge of the fin has a slight reverse curve that provides a better angle of attack for the water as it gets closer to the tip of the fin where most of the area is located.

The large amount of area in the top half of the fin and the fact that it is significantly raked allows this fin to be positioned very far forward without sacrificing holding power.

Due to the large tip area combined with the narrower throat, this fin generates a lot of flex that allows it to create a lot of drive out of turns. As with many of our designs the base of the fin has been kept very narrow in order to enhance the turning ability.

Unlike the T2 series of fins the area of this design was kept down to a minimum in order to reduce drag and improve speed, this design is all about efficiency! The big design difference is the profile of the leading edge. By utilizing a reverse curve that increases in steepness as it gets closer to the tip, a much better angle of attack is provided for the water flow.

This design can be ridden relatively small as the area of the fin is placed where it is most effective. Use this fin with any of our side bite fins in a 2+1 setup for a real performance boost. Or use it as a single fin for lots of drive and speed!

Currently the fins range in size from 5.50″ to 8.50″ in 1/2″ increments.

Available in RED TINT only! All center fins ship with a VersaScrew and breakaway plate, plus a hex key.
