Sangoma surf fins are 100% handmade and skillfully handcrafted to enhance your surfing experience. Surfboard designs will not work at their optimum if not complimented by high quality surf fins made out of the very best materials. Successful handmade fin making requires immense talent, experience and hard work. Learning and excelling at skills like glassing, cutting, sanding and hand foiling take years of experience to obtain. At Sangoma, skilled artisans/surfers with over 22 years of experience in hand foiling fins create each fin you ride.
Our fin templates have been fine tuned over 50 years, with knowledge passed on through generations of surfers in this family business. Our foils and fin shapes are the best in the game, taking in modern and traditional researched designs and refining all aspects.
Full glass panels offer the benefit of slimmer profiles, whilst retaining strength, making you go faster and turn harder with immediate response. Our foils create a pressure difference when turning to help channel kinetic energy off the wave. Put simply, the response from our full glass fins is incomparable and unrivaled.
Traditional methods of fin making are used, by laying out 6oz fiberglass panels with high-grade resin. The templates are all carefully hand cut and individually foiled.
A limited number of fins are hand crafted each day with a minimum of 3 hours skilled labour in each. Every fin is meticulously eyeballed and has been delicately crafted putting energy and love in to the finished product. As they cannot be produced on a mass scale, Sangoma will always remain a small core business who’s focus is on quality over quantity. You won’t find this amount of attention given to those off the rack generic fin packages that the pro’s ride.
Pumping out high volumes made from cheaper gimmick materials and corporate bottom lines don’t exist at Sangoma. Our business is completely transparent so you know where your fins are coming from and who is making them…see About us for more info.
