Taylor Knox is one of the most iconic and timeless surfers of his generation. His style is the quintessence of power surfing. NVS worked closely with Taylor to fine tune a template that would appeal to his style and still be user friendly for the majority of mere mortals. Taylor spends a lot of time on rail executing powerful, drawn out lines. He needs fins that provide hold and drive when pushing his boards to their limits.
The Arc fins have relatively wide bases, solid rake and a moderately refined tips. These characteristics paired with the NVS proprietary SeriesIII foiling and Apex Series construction yield fins that feel fast and fluid. Taylor's Arc fins are highly responsive and offer a dynamic, yet very controlled feel through powerful turns and high speed transitions.
"These fins are fast! Even when laying it down, they have tons of hold." Taylor Knox
Taylor's signature fin is part of the NVS Apex Series line. Every fin is CNC cut from G10 fiberglass to insure precision foiling and ideal flex patterns. This means increased response and higher performance in general. G10 is made by compressing layers of fiberglass and epoxy resin and baking it an autoclave to have the maximum strength of any fiberglass available.

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.
