Cali Pivot Fin
- The Cali Pivot was originally drawn up by CJ Nelson during the early 90’s in Santa Cruz, CA. After riding tons of boards with multiple tail designs and fin configurations, CJ went to the drawing board to carve out a tip riding rudder that would rival any fin before or after it. He was pushing to find the best noserider…

Classic Pivot Fin
- Pivot fins are a staple in longboard surfing, and always the best choice when noseriding is your focus. After 30 years of riding pivot fins, this is the new brainchild of CJ Nelson. Adding a little more rake for drive and rounding out the tip allows this fin to perform on another level. Offering more drive and flow than your…

Edge Sides Fin
- Having spent the past 20 years on the World Longboard Tour riding and perfecting these fins, I wanted to create one set of side fins that would handle any condition and work in every board. Then we wanted to take that one step further and do something nobody else in longboarding does, size them for your build and the type…

Involvement Fin
- This fin is a classic. Drawing on the simple and proven designs of our forefathers, we added subtle elements to this design to optimize it for speed and added power through turns. Clean, simple lines and perfect mid-range flex. The function first concept makes this fin one of the easiest riding fins we’ve ever come across. Lots of control and…

MS 4 sides Fin
- When it came to designing sides for my 2+1 setup, I wanted something that you could push off of because I have heavy feet, so with that in mind, I widened the base and kept a full outline that will hold in for those critical moments. We also added an inside foil to increase down the line speed, reducing the…

MS 6.75 Fin
- Growing up surfing beach breaks on high-performance longboards, I was always going back and forth between two fin templates depending on conditions. One with a lot of rake for faster more hollow style waves and the other is more straight up and pivotal for softer smaller waves. This fin is my interpretation of the two combined to maximize your performance…

MS 9.75 Fin
- This template is the perfect balance for any log. It has a pretty straight up and down outline so it will pivot, but enough rake to be aggressive and wrap a turn. Never really have been a fan of flex fins, so this fin is nice and stiff so you can be heavy on your feet without any slipping or…

Noserider Fin
- The Noserider fin was designed for maximum control and stability while nose riding. The filled-out tip provides the most area possible for drive and hold while moving through sections. Its upright stance lets it pivot and slash easily putting you in the perfect section for extended nose rides. This fin was inspired by some of CJ’s favorite vintage boards and…

Parallax Fin
- The smaller surface area allows this fin to move through the water quickly with less side to side resistance. With its slender profile and speed foil, it’s one of the fastest and loosest fins in the world today. It also smooths out and allows flow in windy or choppy conditions. CJ rides the Parallax fin in his Parallax and Outlier…

Performance Center Fin
- The two plus one center is a classic. Ridden for 25 years plus in CJ’s performance longboards, this one is foolproof. Just enough rake to give you that continuous speed needed to link turns on a longboard but upright enough to keep you mobile and free. This one will never disappoint. Ride this fin in any 2 plus 1 longboard,…

Power Drive Fin
- The go-to for single fin surfing. Inspired by the designs and surfing of guys like Nat Young and Bob Mctavish. The Power Drive has a wide base and big rake giving you effortless drive through turns and stability on the tip. Whether it’s long locked in nose rides or hard-driving turns in the pocket you want, this fin delivers.
