Product Info

The Da Clutch Ben Aipa signature fin was the go-to performance single fin from the mid 70's designed by Ben and used by his test pilots Buttons Kaluhiokalani, Mark Liddell, Dane Kealoha and Larry Bertleman.

The fin template was passed down through the years and made its way back to the AIPA family thanks to Joel Tudor. This fin perfectly captures the essence of the performance single fin surfing experience. NVS is stoked to bring this template back to life!

NVS APEX SERIES FINS


NVS Apex Series Fiberglass Fins: The Pinnacle of Performance.

Better Materials:

  • Apex: Made using G10; an industrial grade fiberglass, which is manufactured to the highest quality standard. Made by heating special fibers with epoxy resin under intense pressure in order to make a perfect panel; they eliminated the errors which can occur by using a hand layup. By heating the fibers and resin under pressure NVS is left with the ideal resin to fiber ratio in order to maximize strength and decrease weight.
  • Apex Flex: Made using Volan Fiberglass for increased flex through the body of the fin.

Better Foiling:
One of the main benefits to NVS' Apex line of fins is that each fin is cut on a CNC machine using the exact foil profiles NVS developed.

  • SeriesIII: The benchmark of high performance. NVS uses a very specific foil that was derived from a series of NACA foils whose purpose was to increase laminar flow (speed) while decreasing turbulent flow (drag). This translates to a fin that allows for faster/easier generation of speed and has a wider angle of attack, which means you won’t lose as much speed while bottom turning or going through hard cutbacks.
  • Concave: or inside foils are used on board where you want easier rail to rail transitions. Concave foils will generate more hold at slower speeds but will not be able to go as fast as flat foiled fins.
  • Retro: Used on some longboard fins such as the Da Clutch and Gypsy which feature a more period appropriate foil to suite the classic board designs.

Better Manufacturing:
By using cutting edge CNC machines and precise designs they machine cut each fin in order to have the perfect foil and finish. All NVS fins are designed 100% in house using advanced 3D software.

This is what makes the Apex Series G10 fins the strongest most high performance fins in the world.
