This is a performance fin, designed for a 2+1 longboard or midlength. Edouard uses the 7.5 with his signature 4.57 sidebite in his 9'1 Pro competition longboard by Minvielle x Torq surfboards.
The design concept is for powerful performance surfing off the tail with enough hold to nose ride. The medium wide base, combined with Edouard's larger sidebites creates a powerful drivey base. It'll come off the bottom and carve on the face with an engaged feel, more like a thruster set up.
It's fairly upright, with a medium rake and narrow tip making it highly responsive. Edouard uses this set in big barrels where small adjustments are critical, especially on a 9'1 longboard on a steep face.
On a 2+1 longboard use the 7.5 with large sides, or 8'5 with smaller sides for drive and agility. For Midlengths, the 7.5 with large sides, create a very stable yet responsive feel, perfect if you're coming off a shortboard.
Ideal board: Edouard Delpero Pro Minvielle x Torq or any performance 2+1 longboard and Midlength. Ideal conditions: From knee high waves and to overhead barrels. Base: to fit US Box Material: Solid Fiberglass
