Product Information

Full details

The Deflow Thomas Bexon 10-inch longboard fin is designed for traditionalists and longboard enthusiasts who demand a blend of vintage aesthetic and modern performance. Ideal for surfers riding classic Malibu-style boards or involvement-style surfboards, this fin provides exceptional stability and control during noseriding; however, its limited flex profile may feel too rigid for surfers who prefer a highly active, 'whippy' fin sensation.

FAQs

Is this fin compatible with all surfboards?

It is designed for longboards and involvement-style surfboards equipped with a standard US longboard fin box.

How does the 10-inch size affect my surfing?

A 10-inch fin provides significant stability and hold. It is ideal for larger boards and traditional noseriding, but may feel bulky on shorter, high-performance longboards.

Does this fin come with the screw and plate?

Typically, fin boxes come with their own hardware, but it is recommended to keep a spare screw and plate in your kit.

Can I use this for aggressive turning?

While it can handle turns, its primary design focus is on stability and trim. For aggressive, high-performance surfing, a smaller or more flexible fin might be preferred.

What is the material made of?

It is part of the Deflow Pro Tech collection, utilizing specialized resins and composites for durability and performance.

Troubleshooting

Fin feels loose in the fin box

Check if the plate is properly aligned and the screw is fully tightened. If the box is worn, consider using a thin shim to tighten the fit.

Excessive drag or 'stiffness' in turns

Try sliding the fin slightly further forward in the box to reduce the leverage behind the center of the board.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent tracking and stability for noseriding
  • High-quality construction from a reputable surf brand
  • Aesthetically pleasing classic silhouette
  • Provides a predictable feel in a variety of longboard conditions

Cons

  • Stiff construction offers limited flex for those seeking a loose, snappy feel
  • 10-inch size may be too large for smaller performance longboards
  • Fixed, non-pivot style may require a period of adjustment if coming from smaller fins

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this fin, ensure your board is equipped with a standard US fin box. Simply slide the base into the box, position it according to your desired pivot point—further forward for a looser feel, further back for more hold—and tighten the screw and plate securely.

Care Instructions:

  • Rinse with fresh water after every session to prevent salt buildup or sand accumulation within the box.
  • Inspect for cracks or stress marks near the base after any heavy impacts with rocks or the seafloor.
  • Store in a fin bag when traveling to avoid chipping the edges of the foil.
