Mid Fin Co. Classic Template
Mid Fin Co. describes the Classic as its versatile all-around fin, designed to work across different wave conditions and surfboard sizes. Smaller versions can suit maneuverable mid-length setups, while larger sizes provide the additional stability associated with classic longboards.
At 9 inches, this Aku Bone sits in a useful middle ground for surfers looking for a substantial center fin without moving into the larger 9.5", 10", or 10.5" range.
A Versatile Longboard and Mid-Length Fin
The Aku Bone Classic can be considered for compatible longboards and mid-lengths using a standard single fin box. The ideal fin size ultimately depends on the board's length, tail shape, rocker, fin-box placement, and the way you want the board to surf.
Mid Fin Co. recommends sizing the Classic slightly larger than your current favorite fin, making the 9" version worth considering when choosing between neighboring center-fin sizes.
Standard Single Fin Box
The Aku Bone Classic installs in a standard adjustable single fin box. This type of center box allows surfers to experiment with fin placement in addition to changing the fin itself.
Moving the fin slightly forward generally creates a looser, more responsive feel, while positioning it farther back generally increases hold and stability. Small adjustments can noticeably change the way a longboard or mid-length responds.
Dial In Your Surfboard
A center fin plays a major role in how a single-fin surfboard feels. Size, template, rake, flex, placement, and the design of the board all work together to influence turning response, hold, drive, and stability.
The Aku Bone pairs Mid Fin Co.'s distinctive design with its everyday Classic template, making it an option for surfers looking for one fin that can work across a range of sessions and compatible boards.
