HOW WE GLASS OUR FINS
We reject stamped injection plastic. Every C-Fins blade begins life with a precision-engineered Foam or Paulownia wood core, meticulously hand-foiled to our signature model: The Avon classic, wide-tipped single-fin template.

The Avon Classic Bulb-Tip Hand Foiling
Hand-tuned to The Avon Classic wide-tipped single-fin template, carving the iconic rounded bulb at the tip that anchors the tail deep in the wave face while thinning towards the trailing edge for fluid glide.

Glassing, Wet Sand & Mirror Polish
The profiled foam or wood core is laminated with fibreglass and Epoxy resin then finished through sequential wet-sanding up to 1200 grit for an effortless hydrofoil that slices cleanly through South Coast rollers.
⚓ THE AVON CLASSIC TEMPLATE: HOW IT WORKS
- Bulb-like Tip: The distinct, wider, rounded/bulb-like shape at the tip acts as an anchor in the water.
- Function of the Shape: This unique tip holds the tail of the surfboard firmly in the water, which provides stability when you walk up to the nose for extended noserides.
- On-Rail Performance: The template is also designed to help with smooth, controlled on-rail turns and transition seamlessly on traditional and performance longboards.
