Captain Fin Co. CF Raked Fin

The CF Raked is designed for smooth, drawn-out turns and maintaining speed down the line. It excels if you prefer a classic, flowing style of surfing rather than aggressive, high-performance snapping.

Yes, that is exactly what it is designed for. The template offers enough stability for traditional logs while remaining responsive enough to handle the maneuverability required for mid-length boards.

A general rule of thumb is to match the fin size in inches to the length of your board in feet—for example, a 9-foot board typically pairs well with a 9-inch fin. If you want more hold and stability, size up; if you prefer a looser, more pivot-oriented feel, size down.

The CF Raked uses a standard US Box system. This is the most common single-fin box found on longboards and mid-lengths, so it should fit most boards currently on the market.

A raked fin has more surface area swept back toward the tail, which helps hold the board in the water during turns and provides more drive. A pivot fin, by contrast, is more upright and designed for tight, quick turns in the pocket.
