Captain Fin Co Longboard Fins, UK
Captain Fin Co is the Californian fin brand built around shaper and artist collabs. At Balsa Surf Shop in Porthcawl we focus on the fins that actually matter for UK longboarding: the Alex Knost Classic range, plus a high-performance shortboard fin, all in stock and ready to post UK-wide.
The Alex Knost Classic — the longboard fin
If you're searching for Captain Fin Co longboard fins, the Alex Knost Classic is the one. A flexy, raked single fin built for trim, hangs on the nose, and the kind of slow, drawn-out turns that longboarding is all about. The 7.5" is the all-rounder for shorter logs and 2+1 setups; the 9.5" is the proper noseride fin for full-size logs in clean point or reef surf. Both fit standard longboard fin boxes.
Performance shortboard option
We also stock the Brown Microwave Television 6.5" — a high-performance single fin for shortboard riders who want a looser, more drivey feel than a stock thruster centre. Captain Fin Co make templates for both FCS and Futures box systems, so check your board's fitting before ordering.
Why Captain Fin Co?
Started by Mitch Abshere as a side project, Captain Fin Co turned into one of the more credible fin brands in surfing — backed by Tyler Warren, CJ Nelson, Josh Hall, Alex Knost and others. The fins ride properly, the shaper collabs feel considered, and the artwork beats the corporate-surf look on most other fin boxes.
