The Rift Quad set is inspired from a standard high performance template however the contrast between front and rear fins is exaggerated, resulting in a more dynamic feeling. We’ve learnt that the way in which a surfer pushes through their fins differs dramatically between different foot placement. When a surfer has their back foot over the front fins they are looking for down the line projection or to draw out longer, more stretched out arcs. Our front fins reflect this with more rake, a longer leading edge and increased flex. In contrast, when a surfer has their foot positioned right on the tail and over the rear fin, they are trying to perform more radical, tight and sharper manoeuvres. In this instance, too much rake and flex can work against a surfer. In response, our rear fins are stiffer, shorter and with less rack. This all results in a fin set up that feels super engaged on rail and freer off the tail.
