Product Information

Full details

The Deflow Tyler Warren Tapered Rake Longboard Fin - 9.5 is designed for longboarders who prioritize style, fluid carving, and classic noseriding performance. As a hallmark piece of the Pro Tech Collection, this fin excels by balancing stability in the pocket with responsive turning, making it an ideal choice for mid-to-large single fin surfboards; however, its specific rake profile may feel too loose for beginners accustomed to high-stability, upright pivot fins.

FAQs

What surfboard types is this fin best for?

This fin is best suited for traditional longboards, logs, and mid-lengths that utilize a single fin box system.

How does the rake affect my surfing?

The rake allows for smoother, drawn-out turns compared to a pivot fin, which is better for quick, tight radius turns.

Is this fin suitable for beginners?

While it can be used by anyone, it is designed for surfers who have developed enough experience to handle the looser feel of a raked fin.

What is the Pro Tech collection?

The Pro Tech collection refers to the high-performance material and manufacturing standards applied to Deflow's premium fins.

Does the fin come with a screw and plate?

Yes, it typically includes the necessary hardware for standard longboard fin box installation.

Troubleshooting

Fin feels loose or wobbles in the box

Ensure the screw and plate are properly aligned and tightened, or check if the base of the fin needs a thin layer of tape to snug the fit within the box.

Difficulty inserting the fin into the box

Clean the fin box of any sand or debris and ensure the screw plate is pushed fully to the bottom of the track before inserting the fin base.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent balance between turning response and noseriding stability
  • Sophisticated design aesthetic from a renowned shaper
  • High-quality Pro Tech construction for long-term durability
  • Versatile performance across different wave types and longboard shapes

Cons

  • May be too loose for beginners seeking maximum straight-line stability
  • Limited to single-fin box setups
  • Performance requires a more refined, active style of surfing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This fin is designed for standard longboard fin boxes. To install, loosen the screw and plate at the bottom of the box, slide the fin base into the slot, and move it to your desired position—further back for more stability and hold, or further forward for increased maneuverability. Tighten the screw firmly by hand or with a fin key to ensure no rattling occurs. After each session, rinse the fin and the box with fresh water to prevent salt buildup, which can cause the fin or screw to seize over time.
