Greetings, Shredderz! Someone recently sold off an insane set of vintage surfboard fins and the photos were too good not to post. As you can see, there’s no shortage of eye candy. Surfboard fin materials and performance have improved over the years, but damn, they definitely used to look a lot cooler. I…

Greetings, Shredderz! I love vintage surfboard fins. This has more to do with aesthetics than anything else, but there’s no disputing that vintage fins can be gorgeous.
