Starboard Drake Shallow Fins

FAQ

What are the Starboard Drake Shallow Fins designed for?

The Starboard Drake Shallow Fins are specially designed for shallow waters and are ideal for windsurfing and wing foiling. Their short profile allows for safe planing and beach starts even at shallow spots without the fin touching the bottom.

What material are the Drake Shallow fins made of?

The Drake Shallow Fins are made of fiber-reinforced nylon (FRN). The robust material reliably absorbs impacts and withstands the stresses of getting in and out of the water.

Who are the Starboard Drake Shallow Fins suitable for?

The fins are aimed at beginners and advanced riders who want to train in shallow areas or beach start. They provide enough power and drive to get safely onto a plane.

In which sizes and box systems are the Drake Shallow Fins available?

The Drake Shallow family is available in several sizes, including the 220 variant for SUPs with a US box as well as larger models for Tuttle boxes. This way you can find the right fin for your board and area of use.

What advantages does the short profile of the Drake Shallow offer?

The short fin profile significantly reduces the draft. This means you will touch the bottom much less often in shallow bays, sandbanks, or when water starting at the shore and can ride more relaxed.

Do the Drake Shallow Fins also fit my windSUP or wing board?

The 220 cm variant with a US box is explicitly designed for SUPs and windSUPs with a US box mount. You can use the larger Tuttle box versions classically on windsurf and wing boards with a Tuttle box.

How do I properly care for my Starboard Drake Shallow fin?

Rinse the fin with fresh water after every session, remove sand and salt, and check the mount in the board for damage. This keeps the fiber-reinforced nylon robust for a long time and ensures a clean fit.
