The Pavel Powerglide was designed in collaboration with San Diego shaper Rich Pavel, a man known for being driven by unique possibilities. This fin is a prime illustration of that. It incorporates a wide base that transitions seamlessly to a narrow tip, and features a healthy amount of rake. Together these elements create a hybrid design. Its wide base provides a good amount of hold, while its low profile translates to forgiveness and versatility; it’s very responsive so you can get a bit more critical with it.
This fin is all about the best of both worlds performance–allowing for pocket-style surfing and crisp turns, all the while maintaining incredible noseriding ability. If you’re looking for an all-around longboard surfing fin, the Pavel Powerglide is an excellent choice.
