EA Arakawa Control Thruster Medium
Best stable thruster set for mid-weight surfers tackling powerful, heavy waves.
These fins trade loose, pivot-heavy turns for serious hold and drive in heavy conditions. The stiff fiberglass construction provides the stability you need when the waves get powerful, making them a reliable choice for surfers who prefer drawn-out lines over quick, snappy maneuvers.
