Three fins thread into the tail of this 6-ft board and every one of them is detachable, which is the practical difference between a board that lives on a roof rack and one that fits flat in a trunk or stands in a closet without a fin catching on everything. With the fins in, the setup holds a line through a turn; with them out, the board packs away and its most fragile parts come out of harm's way. The board itself measures 72 in long by 20 in wide by 3 in thick and is rated to carry riders up to 200 lbs, while weighing only 10 lbs to shoulder down to the water. The deck is a durable foam top over an EPE surface, forgiving on the ribs and knees during the paddle out, and it is built around an EPS foam core that supplies the flotation that makes waves easy to catch. The underside is where the speed comes from: a slick HDPE high-speed bottom laminated over a PP hard-slick base, a hard low-friction surface that releases from the water instead of dragging like bare foam. A traction pad is fitted to the deck and a leash is supplied free, so nothing else needs buying before the first session. Simple assembly is required according to the included instruction, and the weight capacity should be considered before use. The width and soft deck make this size ideal for adults and children beginners, and it comes in red, yellow, or white.
