Captain Fin Co. JJ Wessels Pivot

This fin is designed specifically for traditional longboards, particularly those with square or round tails. It works best on classic logs where you want to emphasize stability and noseriding rather than high-performance, aggressive turning.

The pivot template is designed to hold the board in place, which provides the stability needed for noseriding. It feels more planted and steady compared to a raked fin, allowing you to make tighter, controlled turns from the tail without the board sliding out.

It performs best in clean, groomed conditions like point breaks or organized beach breaks. Because it is a pivot-style fin, it can feel a bit stiff in choppy or messy surf where you need a more flexible or raked fin to navigate quickly.

The JJ Wessels Pivot uses a standard US Box system, which is the industry standard for most modern and traditional longboards. As long as your board has a single US Box, this fin will fit.

While it is built for stability and noseriding, the design is efficient enough to maintain speed through long, clean sections. It is not a high-speed performance fin, but it provides enough drive to keep you moving through the wave face with the flow of the wave.
