Badfish 4.5" Soft Flex Two Tab

These purpose-built river surf fins are ones we really appreciate for their soft flex, especially when we’re surfing rocky or shallow river bottoms. The forgiving flex makes them far safer than stiff ocean fins, giving us confidence when the river gets technical or unpredictable. Overall, they’re a great choice for anyone who wants added safety and peace of mind without sacrificing too much performance.
