Starboard Windsurf Fin Drake Slalom

Starboard Windsurf Fin Drake Slalom is designed for windsurfers who want to combine maximum speed with control and course keeping, even when the gusts come in hard. The stiff carbon construction translates every pump and pressure change directly into forward acceleration, while the slim profile keeps drag low and the board releases early. The torsional stiffness prevents the tip from working at high pressure, keeping the tail quiet and making spinouts rare. At altitude, you feel a linear, predictable elevator that doesn't suddenly drop off; in the jibe, enough grip remains to maintain speed through the turn and open with confidence on the new rack. The result is less rearfoot correction and more focus on trim and line selection, whether you're sailing a freerace or slalom sail.

On Dutch lakes and along the coast, you notice how the fin combines speed and calm in short chop and gusty winds. The leading edge cuts in cleanly, the trailing edge releases the water nicely and the base provides solid support at full pressure on the boom, so you stay planked longer and need to re-rig later. Choose a more compact size for faster planing and a more playful feel, or go bigger for maximum carrying capacity, higher end speed and effortless upwind. Assembly and maintenance is easy; after sailing, rinse off salt and sand and the fit stays tight. For surfers looking to refine their set without complicated adjustments, this slalom fin offers an effective upgrade in efficiency, grip and top-end. A solid and reliable choice for those who want carefree enjoyment on the water.
