Known for their speed and agility, Makos are the fastest shark in the ocean. The sleek, hydrodynamic form allows them to flow through the water with a fluidity those of us who ride the surface admire and mirror.
The Mako longboard fin is a versatile, high performance longboard template that will function well in a broad range of conditions. Their classic outline is inspired by forms that have emerged in nature after eons of selection; and offers straightforward speed and responsiveness. The Mako is geared toward more performance oriented surfboards, though the balanced outline will perform well in a wide range of boards.
The larger sizes are great for retro style single fin longboards, while the Small and Medium sizes pair well with mid-lengths and 2 + 1's.
NVS is releasing the Mako longboard fins in their Apex Series construction. The high quality epoxy resin layup and precision, performance foiling yields a subtle flex pattern through the top 30-40% of the outline. These fins are built to last a lifetime!

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.
