WHAT MAKES SELECT FINS BETTER THAN THE OTHER FIN MANUFACTURES?
Most other fins are made in polyester, vinyl ester, G10 or similar materials. The fin’s are mostly produced by hand-machined or CNC machines milling polyester in gross plates of 10 to 12 mm. Finishing is done by hand as well. Given these production factors the change is there that differences in fin profile with unacceptable tolerances can occur. Besides that the mechanical properties of the materials are limited as they are made of homogametic structures. Referring to our technology we consider 3 super important points: • Molding fin’s means 100% profile consistency in production • Due to Select’s prepreg technology we are able to position different materials and material direction on the inside of the fin, therefore we can stick to the ideal profile design and obtain the right flex and twist figures. • Because of molding technology the stiffness in the length direction can be controlled better at any given length. A few hand-crafted custom production fin brands remain, but they are m
