About Fins.Surf
Founded by a surfer with over three decades of wave-riding experience, Fins . Surf is not just a business, it's the foundation of what could even be something revolutionary for surf economies in developing world areas. For now though I'm just selling the fins I design and 3D print, and surf consulting offerings in order to share the many things I've learned that can help you enjoy surfing more as well.
Surfing is more than a sport. It is a profound way to engage with nature and learn about oneself and it's available to anyone, anywhere waves land on the Earth's shores.
About Todd Anderson
I grew up inland, but one day when I must've been about 9 I remember seeing an image of surfing for the first time in my life (the Town & Country Surf Ape at Pipe); from then on I was determined to become a surfer. Thankfully, the lifeguards at Folsom Lake had started up a Junior Lifeguards program. Little did I know joining the JG's would be my ticket into surfing. If you're reading this and you'd like to begin surfing, the best way you can prepare is to do JG practice in a pool or at a lake for WEEKS. Learn how to run, jump and swim through the water, do that with a paddle board, and more, then come to the beach to begin transforming those skills into surf mode.
Over the years I've learned many things in life and surfing that I would like to share with you. Get in touch, be it fin/board choices, surf tips, even insights on cross-training:
• Wrestling
• Jiu-jitsu
• Bo staff
• Footbag
• Skating
• Shore-pound navigation
• Bodysurfing
My Products
Fins.Surf offers a range of winged, next-generation surfboard fins (also non-winged versions and mixes of the two). The current set of designs focuses on adding thrust, stability and agility for all levels of surfers, in most conditions. My flagship fin designs, "The Megawatts," incorporate all of the most aggressive features I've learned to design into my fins. The 'Wings on all fins' option is best for advanced surfers that want maximum drive, "Battle Axe" performance. The 'Wings on Center fin only' are a good option for surfers that want a less aggressive performance boost for their surfboard, as well as for beginners and novices who don't yet have sufficient control of their board to avoid hitting themself or others with the outer wings on the side fins. I design these fins using CAD so that I can create their shapes based on aerodynamic, publicly available airplane wing foil profiles such as the NACA 6409 and Wortmann FX79. It's incredible how much performance great airfoils add to what our fins can do for our boards. The picture below is of me on a Randy French 5'6" twin fin dovetail! Without the advanced foils of the Future Fin Vector 460s I would not have been able to shred waves like this with that board.
