The FIN System™ is a revolutionary Patented new upgrade for the Surf Adapter that allows riders to alter the pivot angle of their Surf Adapter. This Kit can be added to any existing Skateboard setup.

The FINs can be added in 2 configurations, in addition to a standard 150° Surf Adapter configuration. One configuration is Super Carve 145° and the other is Mega Pump 155°. Super Carve gives you a more responsive turning experience, and lets you carve very tight maneuvers in tight spaces. Mega Pump is a lighter feeling and allows you to efficiently drive the board with small pumps over long distances.

We are very excited to be offering this system to our riders! We hope that you find the FIN System as transformative and fun as the Surf Adapter itself!

EU Shipping Problems

Dont buy if you are in the EU! They ship from Hongkong! Infos on the website that they ship from within the EU are wrong. My package was held at customs because of missing information that just the sender can provide and is now going to be destroyed because sender did nothing. I am waiting since 3 weeks and now escalated my claim on paypal. I have no products, still dont have the money back and have no adapters to skate. Thanks waterborne for literally nothing. (Info that waterborne did not provide: No PREMATERIALS may be imported from Russia. For shipments from tariff chapters 71,72&73 that require an RU embargo exception according to the customs tariff, the invoice must state in one sentence that no input materials from RU are included.)

New and bought 2

I am new to Surf-Skating and got into it to complement my FreeSkates, and managing that heavy learning curve.
*When it comes to carving and infinity loops the movements of these skating activities are very similar.

I purchased the waterborne surf adapter and rail for my wife's 40" Pintail long board. I found myself riding around
with her board enough to double down and get a set for myself. I selected to build my surfskate from scratch
(Globe Blazer XL 36" board, Gen 6 Ti Pro Bear RKP trucks, Stinger bearings and 72 x 78a sharkwheels).
This was very fun build, and a big customization plus that the adapter affords you. It is a crazy fun to ride on both
of our boards.

I do feel that the lack of snap-back is a touch of a negative, but that goes with Bushings systems vs Spring/Coil systems.
The weight and hight added to the boards takes some getting used to, more so the elevated deck hight than the weight.

I went with waterborne because it is more customizable (whichever trucks you want, deck of your choice, and 3 alternative
setups for adapter riding settings/options), and adjustable to my aesthetic preferences.

These boards are sleek & sexy with the adapter and rail setup! Makes you want to get out there and ride.

The FIN System™ is a revolutionary Patented new upgrade for the Surf Adapter that allows riders to alter the pivot angle of their Surf Adapter. This kit can be added to any existing skateboard setup!

The FINs can be added in 2 configurations, in addition to a Standard Surf Adapter configuration. One configuration is Mega Pump and the other is Super Carve.

THREE Distinct riding modes

Each FIN SETTING will be characterized by different pivot angle and ride height. The FIN System has set a new standard for customization of a Surfskate, by allowing for the adjustment of the angle of the primary pivot itself. This angle is the biggest factor in determining how a Surf truck will feel.

DREAM Surf Truck

FIN System

Set your FINs to Super Carve for an increased responsiveness and high performance. Super Carve is a very lively setting that emphasizes how tightly the Surf Adapter can turn within a space, and carve it to pieces!

Remove your FINs to utilize the Standard Surf Adapter Geometry. This geometry was something that we created with the goal of achieving the most universal surf style performane for riders across the world. It's still as fun as ever to ride the Standard setting!

Set your FINs to Mega Pump for a dialed back high performance cruising feel. The Surf Adapter won't lean as deeply into turns, and the flatter deck angle allows you to gently pump this board up to high speeds with minimal exertion, and maximal forward propultion. It can still carve with a distinctly Waterborne fluidity.

What are FINs?

FINs snap into the Surf Adapter's truck holding Pivot arm. They effectively change the angle that the arm rotates on, and in turn change the way that the wheels move as you press on your rails. This is what gives you a totally new feeling.

DESIGN INSIGHT

The Surf Adapter is an extremely robust design that has been mounted onto everything from 12 inch skateboards to 12 foot long skateboards! It has been paired with every truck under the sun, and riden by people on all 7 continets. We believe that the Surf Adapter's design language, aids in it's mission for universal appeal. This rebust design lan guage is why the FIN System works. Had we taken a more common approach, had we coppied an existign design, or had we put any less consideration, we would not have been able to add these clever little wedges to the Surf Adaper without significant further modification. It is only becuase we found the best solution, the bushing, that we can change the pivot angle and still have the same functionality and resilience.

HOW BUSHINGS AFFECT YOUR PERFORMNCE

You can further customize the feel of your Surfskate by swapping the bushings in your Surf Adapter and Rail Adapter. Bushings can make a board feel more stable for a biginner, or fine tune the performance of a pro setup.
