Product Information
Full details
The Deflow Ciel Glue Mid Twin is an ideal performance upgrade for surfers who appreciate artistic design alongside technical function, serving as the perfect bridge between the brand's Duette and Keel fin models. It is designed for those seeking increased stability and improved control in higher-quality waves without sacrificing the speed inherent in a twin-fin setup, though it may feel slightly less loose than smaller, more specialized twin options for riders used to very high-pivot setups.

FAQs
Are these fins compatible with FCS boxes?
No, these fins are designed specifically for the Futures (FUT) fin box system.
Can these be used on a thruster setup?
These are designed as a twin-fin set and are best suited for boards shaped to run as a twin or twin-plus-trailer setup.
What is the primary difference between these and the Duette model?
The Mid Twin provides more stability and control than the Duette, making it better suited for higher-quality or more demanding waves.
Do these fins come with a key?
Standard fin sets usually require a Futures fin key, which is typically sold separately or included with your surfboard purchase.
Are these suitable for beginners?
While functional for all levels, they are specifically optimized for intermediate to advanced surfers looking for a particular performance feel.
Will the graphic fade over time?
Like any equipment exposed to UV rays and saltwater, some minor fading or wear is natural over many years of use, but proper care will extend the life of the finish.
Troubleshooting
Fin feels loose in the fin box
Ensure the side-grub screw is properly tightened. If the issue persists, check the fin box for worn plastic or sand residue that prevents a full seal.
Difficulty inserting the fin
Check for obstructions like dried salt or sand inside the Futures box. Ensure the fin base is correctly aligned with the box track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This model is specifically designed for the Futures (FUT) fin box system. To install, ensure your fin boxes are free of sand or debris. Insert the back of the fin first, then press down firmly on the front until the fin sits flush against the board. Tighten the side-grub screw using a standard Futures-compatible fin key, being careful not to overtighten. To maintain the integrity of the fiberglass and the Ciel Glue artwork, rinse your fins with fresh water after every session to prevent salt crystal buildup. Store your board out of direct, prolonged sunlight when not in use to protect the vibrancy of the graphic finish and prevent the resin from yellowing.
