The joy of unlimited design freedom: Warp Drive fin revolution 2.0

The Warp Drive fin making process gives complete design freedom. Here's an example: a Spitfire Cutaway fin with a NACA16012 foil, this is a low drag high speed fin foil which has been a favourite for our Spitfire fins since 1998. We can swap fin foils with ease using Solidworks.

Microgrooved texture reminiscent of LP records

It's a fascinating experience to be able to isolate a single variable ( in this case the foil section) and to ride the identical fin with various foil shapes.

Just about any fin which you can imagine can be made, so if you have a fin in mind which isn't currently available, talk to us and we'll make it!

Recently Charles from Maine asked for a set pf Spitfire BLEF foiled keel fins for a twin fin plus trailer setup. Two weeks later they are a reality... with the refined MH32 asymmetrical foil, proportionally scaled leading edge bumps, 4 degrees of cant and tabs to fit Futures fin boxes, all in incredibly light weight and tough high impact translucent polycarbonate. It's all infinitely customisable,  the fin revolution 2.0 is real.
