This fin seamlessly blends modern longboard performance with the classic nose-riding style, featuring a pivot-style shape and contemporary lines. Drawing inspiration from traditional pivot fins but with a modern take on the rake, it delivers a responsive feel through turns while excelling as a nose-rider.

Self Surfboards is a surf brand with classic reminiscences, whose philosophy is based on creating a 100% handmade and artistic product to have something unique and personal as a result.

We love their designs and values, and this is why we bring you the Self x Deflow fin.

Designed as a suitable template for a wide range of surfers of varying sizes across boards from 9'0 upwards.

This fin has ample base to give a reliable feeling when nose-riding, while maintaining area towards the tip to keep things tight and increase drive through turns. We wanted to keep flex to a minimum on this, as too much flex in a fin this size can lead to the washing off of speed through turns.

“I designed this fin back in 1988 when I was making a large board, over 10′. A brutal, almost primitive design. A very steep front line, and a vertical back line. Offering speed as well as pivot. It works on a classic longboard, and also on glider shapes.” words by Luc Rolland.

The Tapered Rake Single Fin by Tyler Warren is a great choice for surfers who are looking to combine style, flow, and performance in a single fin. It's ideal for longboarding, especially if you’re into smooth, traditional lines but want the ability to handle a bit of modern surfing power. It’s all about balance—giving you stability, control, and that responsive feel for carving down the line.

"This fin was designed for a fun balance of pivot and rake, wide base leading into a tapered tip for fluid turns while still holding well on the nose. A great all around fin for most longboards. The smaller ones could be fun in a more eggy style board. This fin has a medium flex in the tip for some extra dive and snap back through turns." TW

"Mundo y formas..

I wanted these fins to be a personal version of three iconic models I grew up with.

Like a folk song or jazz standard that eventually is being re written, or modified to become your own version of a song, I began to change the curves of these classic fins through the years, to evolve with my surfing and the type of waves I surf most of the time."
