In response to a lot of feedback from inflatable board users Incept had developed a new fin system for the Blowfish. Many boards on the market have fixed fins, or a combination of fixed fins and a removable keel set into a finbox. While these are great on the water they're a real pain when it's time to roll the boards up - it's just not possible to roll the boards as tight as you'd like, and many boards end up with bent looking fins or damage from the finboxes rubbing the boards.
The solution? Blowfish has developed a fully removable thruster fin system with no plastic fin box. The result is we can roll them much tighter and fit them into a much smaller bag which is a huge bonus. The smaller rolled up size actually makes a much bigger difference that you'd realise, apart from making travel easier it opens up storage locations that they wouldn't fit into before. For example - I can now fit two boards into the side lockers of my motorhome - before we could only get one (so now i can take a friend!)
Performance? The new fins are lower in profile so when your on rivers or shallow water they're an improvement over the previous dagger board style. In surf/flatwater we haven't been able to tell any difference from the long find setup. Overall we're stoked with them and think you will be too!
Comparsion photos coming shortly.
