Compared to our standard fiberglass, Volan is a heavier weight glass with a more coarse and dense weave. We painstakingly layup each 44 layer panel by hand (about 2 hours for a 30x30” panel) in order to achieve a high glass to resin ratio, and also to ensure that the coarse weave is properly saturated - these details further add to the strength, and eventually the flex pattern’s ‘memory’, which is essentially the fin’s ability to endure a large number of reps and then ‘return to center’, all while sustaining a powerful flex. All of our Volan fins are also specifically templated and aligned for optimal weave orientation (about 70* perpendicular to the base) which allow the fins to flex more through the body and ‘trunk’, as opposed to just in the thinner tip area. All in all, we've found that this labor of love results in fins that have the very best flex characteristics that we're able to make. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2016-01-20T13:41:00-08:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"banner","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"volan"},{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"volan"}],"published_scope":"web","image":{"created_at":"2020-02-06T06:16:42-08:00","alt":"","width":1180,"height":238,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0339\/4613\/collections\/af8260b94dec70914632e6a9802912a9.jpg?v=1580998603"}}]
Designed by talented surfer, shaper, and photographer Dane Peterson - the Peto Flex fins are the newest offering in our signature Volan lineup. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to collaborate with Dane who is so intimately familiar with surfboard and fin design. He has a finely tuned knack for knowing exactly how he wants a fin to perform, and was able to precisely dictate what he was searching for while developing these new longboard fins.
The Peto Flex fins have a unique template designed for plenty of speed, hold, and projection all whilst feeling especially lively and responsive due to these specially designed foils.
Our Volan fins are fine tuned with a precision foil as well as proper flex. They are handcrafted in Santa Barbara, CA and go through the strictest quality control. Fins made with Volan fiberglass and properly aligned for optimal weave orientation have very high performance flex characteristics — with the flex coming more from the body of the fin rather than just at the tip.
