Try the New 3D System of Surfboard Fins to Achieve Fast and Powerful Riding in Many Tough Situations

The new type of fins

Stonefish Skegs – System of 3D

Stonefish Skegs

The system has been invented for speed and powerful surfing on hollow waves and may be used for any surfboard type, from kneeboards to longboards.

Everyone who uses surfboards, from fishermen to professional surfers, was satisfied with the use of such a type of flippers.

The construction has been invented by Randy Stockstill. He stated that this type is not just a new model of fins but the system which composes the whole surf vessel together with the surfboard shape for riding waves.

At first sight, you can see a winglet at the tip. Few other fin types have similar winglets but the difference is how the system is associated with the surfboard.

Randy has invented a winglet that goes beyond the surfboard outline.

This system is created for pair use only. There is no center fin.

That decreases water resistance and gives more flexibility to the surfboard from one side but increases sensibility from the other side so that it should be used with care.

So basically, the system is designed for fast and powerful riding.

The question arises for which surf these fins are designed.

Randy tells that when the surfboard is thrown upon the rail, the system starts to work as a single fin.

He also says that the system works the best in tough conditions when waves press to the surface of the flipper and push the board ahead.

Stonefish Skegs fins

The main factor inherent in 3D fins is a lifting power.

Some flipper shapes are invented to push the surfboard over the water by lifting power created when water passes through the paddles. But it is not a case for Skegs fins.

The tilt angle of finlets is 45 deg to the flipper body. That allows the structure to work in many situations.

If the angle is 90 deg, the surfboard will slide when going straight on the water as fins will do nothing. But the stabilizers should be pushed against the water to arrange the right steering.

So, the structure is a conceptually new solution and, if you want to try really something new, you should try this system for sure.
