The Neal Purchase Jr. Widow Maker is a distinctive three-fin design that occupies the space between a traditional single fin and a modern thruster. By positioning the side fins and center fin closer together than a conventional 2+1 setup, the cluster works as a unified system, delivering exceptional hold, projection, and responsiveness. The result is a uniquely balanced feel that maintains the flow and trim of a single fin while unlocking a new level of control through turns.
