Performance Glass

Solid fiberglass fins have been the trusted construction for many of the world's best surfers for decades.

Performance Glass (PG) fins are machine-cut from layers of solid fiberglass. These fins are stiff and are widely used by professional surfers because the integrity of the flex is maintained under immense forces and in the most extreme conditions and situations.

PG fins have very fast memory recall, which translates into speed. These fins are generally on the stiffer side of the scale, providing instant response and acceleration as soon as you apply pressure and drive through a turn.
