Shapers Dane Pioli Longboard Fin

This fin is designed for surfers who want to blend traditional longboarding with modern, high-performance maneuvers. It excels when you want to surf more aggressively, offering the pivot and tail release needed for tighter turns while maintaining the stability of a classic log.

Adding side fins to your center fin creates more drive and hold through turns. While a single fin provides a classic, smooth glide, this 2+1 setup gives you more responsiveness and projection, making it easier to navigate faster, steeper sections of a wave.

The side fins in this set utilize a Single Tab system. Before purchasing, ensure your longboard's side fin boxes are compatible with Single Tab fins, as this is the standard for most modern performance longboards.

Yes, the 2+1 configuration is actually quite versatile in smaller surf. The side fins provide extra lift and speed, which helps you generate momentum when the waves lack power, allowing you to keep the board moving through flat sections.

The center fin features a 29-degree rake, which balances pivot and drive. A more raked fin typically holds a line better through turns, so this design offers a stable, predictable feel that won't feel too loose or 'spinny' when you're pushing hard off the tail.
