Finally released: AUROLA fins in collaboration with RATIO

Finally released!!! The AUROLA fin is a collaboration with RATIO, Japan's proud high-precision fin manufacturer. A fin set made in Japan with exquisite handmade techniques and quality. The transparent foam core is generously embedded, making it lightweight and the base is firm and strong. It is made using special materials and manufacturing methods that other manufacturers cannot imitate, allowing it to become more flexible as it approaches the tip. The printed material is applied to both sides, then hot coated to finish, and polished to a lustrous finish, resulting in the highest quality product in the AUROLA fin series. The fins are shaved as thin as possible, allowing for fast, forward movement without water resistance. This tri-fin set matches any board, provides quick movement, extended turns, and excellent overall balance. This is a fin set that works surprisingly well on any board. The AUROLA/Conquest FIN will make your board move more smoothly and give you more speed than ever before. A message from fin shaper and designer Katsuyoshi Kumano. About AUROLA/Conquest FIN When Nishii-san asked me to create fins for the Conquest, a board with an unprecedented concept, and I received the template, I thought, "Wow! This would be an interesting fin to make!" At the same time, I thought about how to bring out the performance of this uniquely shaped fin. My theory as a fin shaper and designer is that you can't judge whether a fin is good or bad just by its shape. When I'm shaping a fin, the thing I pay the most attention to is the "thickness" of the entire fin. Of course, flex is important, but the most important point is how the water escapes through the fin. So, to get the best results to match this templet, I shaved it as thin as possible, even more than before. As a result of shaving it thin, the fin has a great flex as well. The distinctive feature of these fins is that the base of the side fins is quite large. The tip is not narrow, but rather stands upright. Instead of being narrow, the tip is thin and not pointed. When you drive, the base grips the water firmly, and the thin tip allows the water to escape, making for a great design. While the way people shift their weight and move their surfboards when turning varies, the general consensus is that these fins are "fins that rotate well and generate speed." The tri-center fin is also a little thin, but the tip has a unique shape, and since it only flexes at the tip, it's a very well-balanced, "logical fin." This fin has excellent speed performance for a quad, and its design allows the board to turn properly even when you hit it in a tricky spot. We also had RATIO fin riders in Hawaii test it, and we got very good feedback from Carissa Moore and others. Carissa especially likes this Templet, and has used it on reefs in Hawaii and the Mentawai, proving that it is an all-around board that can handle both large, powerful waves and Japanese beach breaks. Please enjoy the collaboration between AUROLA's design and RATIO's technology.
