Black Project Fins is new, born in Hawaii we have one simple aim - to make the best fins possible. We are focussing on quality, excellent design and rigerous testing so that we can deliver just that.

I see that a few of our fins have been posted here which is great, but check out the Multi-Fins below:



We decided not to have seperate quad/tri/twin packages rather have a Mix 'N 'Match System so that you can tailor to your needs and experiment with differnet ideas. To ensure the highest quality we decided to have all fins CNC produced so what you get is what we designed and I think that you will agree once you get to use one that the designs work great. We are constantly trying to improve and we are currently testing and developing our FreeSTYLE range of fins, we have decided to have a FreeSTYLE SINGLE and a FreeSTYLE TWIN to suit different boards, more info about these will be available soon on our website.

I invite you to check out the website and see for yourself, fins can be ordered online on our website and we are currently working on a network of distributers, you can also buy fins online at http://www.windsurfingfins.co.uk who are happy to ship to Euorpe too.

Please ask questions, I will be happy to repond.

Aloha

BTW new team riders were recently announced:

Jon White - UK/International Raceboard: he will be using the 45 and 50cm Type R fins
Thijs Westbroek - Holland/International: he will be using the FreeSTYLE single on the EPFT and hopefully PWA
2010 UK Wave Champion Debbie Kennedy: she will be using the Wave MULTI-Fins

We are currently in negotiation with a number of other riders as we look to build a strong international team of riders. If you think you have what it takes please send me your profile and plans for 2011 and I will consider your application.

Aloha

Sympa la manière de développer chez Black Project fins, pour le slalom ça s'inspire fortement de Tecto, pour le speed de C3 et pour le freestyle de Mb-Fins...
Je me demande s'ils comprennent vraiment ce qu'ils dessinent...

Type X : Speed asymétrique de 20.4 à 26.4cm : http://www.blackprojectfins.com/product ... ns/type-x/ -

350 $ soit 250 euros environ.

"The new Type X Speed fin is set to light up the speed world, Tom’s asymmetric creation as he puts it is theoretically “several knots faster”. Rather than choose your size, choose how fast you want to go by selecting the 30, 35, 40, 45 or 50 knot version. Each version is available in a Port or Starboard variant depending upon the tack of your speed strip. The fin range is designed for very broad speed course and boards of <50cm wide. The Type X is proving to be extremely fast with team riders, Dirk Jan Knol, Martyn Ogier and Pete Young all setting exceptionally quick times, our goal is to hold the world GPS speed records as well as the overall 500m world record and we are quietly confident that this will happen on the Type X."

LE R-type 42.5 et 32.5 sont vraiment terrible ! ! ! contrôle / speed / zero spin out et finition au top / un peu lourd tout de même ... on en a pour son argent
A prendre sans hésité ...
Pas grand chose à voir avec les tectos .... les BP sont plus épais et taillent grand ne pas hésiter à prendre la taille juste en dessous .... Le 42.5 et top en 8.6 / 8 m

Valentin Brault F823 en est tres contant ! (Starboard / Severne)

The Type RS has been optimized for high octane down wind slalom racing where speed and control are both vitally important, this new fin is designed to be ridden on the edge, has a slightly looser feel than the Type R and more pointing and low end than the popular Type S. Utilizing our laminar flow technology the Type RS will excel on PWA style down wind slalom courses due to its high lift to drag ratio and blistering speed. Designed for advanced slalom riders the Type RS is your winning edge this season whether you are battling it out in a heat or recording with your GPS unit.

Bientôt un RS en test pour une 110 litres. quelle polyvalence par exemple pour un type R en 35. Apparemment, cela ne passe pas sur toutes les planches ; mais bien validé sur Starboard, Fanatic, Angulo, Tabou.

Black Project Fins SABRE RT Slalom & GPS Speed Fin : http://www.blackprojectfins.com/windsur ... rfing-fin/ -

Slalom Fin – The revolutionary SABRE RT slalom fin has changed our thoughts on high performance windsurfing fins. The Sabre takes into consideration everything we have learnt throughout our testing and development across all fin ranges. The wide and powerful base helps low end acceleration while our FlexTIP technology dynamically adjusts delivering a forgiving and controlled ride. The Sabre handles extreme chop and gusts by reacting to the ocean, keeping the board level eliminating both longitudinal roll and lateral pitch. The result is a perfectly balanced ride and when you are in more control you can pick the fastest line. During GPS testing not only were our peaks higher with the Sabre but our course times were quicker with riders reporting increased feel and confidence around the jibe marks.
