Maui Ultra Fins Style-Weed

FAQ

Who is the Maui Ultra Fins Style-Weed designed for?

The Style-Weed is a freestyle fin for riders who want to jump, rotate, and practice tricks in grassy areas (seagrass, algae, seaweed). It is suitable for advanced riders as well as ambitious beginners in freestyle and bump&jump.

In which areas is the Style-Weed best suited?

Classic areas of use are shallow to choppy spots with seagrass or algae – such as the Baltic Sea, North Sea, Bodden, but also tropical areas like Brazil. The pronounced rake prevents plants from getting caught in the fin.

Which board and sail sizes are suitable for the Style-Weed?

The fin recommendation depends on board volume and sail area. As a guideline (for approx. 80 kg body weight): 80-L board with 3.6–4.8 m², 90-L board with 3.6–5.2 m², 100-L board with 4.0–5.2 m², 110-L board with 4.4–5.6 m². For every 10 kg more or less body weight, you choose the next larger or smaller fin.

In which sizes is the Style-Weed available?

The Style-Weed is available in several lengths from 15 cm to 22 cm – in 2-cm increments, suitable for different board and sail sizes.

Which fin boxes are compatible?

The Style-Weed is offered in the common Powerbox (PB) and US/Slot systems, so it fits most current freestyle and bump&jump boards.

How does the Style-Weed ride compared to classic freestyle fins?

The high rake provides good grip on takeoff, a playful character, and enough speed to initiate rotations cleanly. This makes it significantly more playful than a rigid slalom or wave fin.

What should I pay attention to when caring for the fin?

Rinse the fin with fresh water after every session to remove salt, sand, and plant residue. Regularly check the screw connection in the fin box and inspect the edge for damage – this keeps the performance consistent.
