We’ve got fins. Lots of fins. Flex fins, performance fins, nose riding fins, pivot fins -you need one. And no, they are no longer called skegs. Fin is the appropriate term. Fins are unlike putting “rims” on your car. While they do look cool, they are also super functional. Do it.

Here’s a little history on the nifty turning device.
The surfboard fin is a stabilizing strut fixed to the rear of the surfboard to prevent it from sliding sideways. In the early days, surfers would stabilize the board by hanging the toes of their back foot over the edge of the board and would steer by putting their foot in the water. The innovation of a skeg in 1936 —by either or both of Woody “Spider” Brown or Tom Blake— revolutionized surfing, allowing surfers to direct the board’s momentum and providing more balance whilst turning. The template of the modern surfboard fin was developed by George Greenough in the 1960s.
