PROTECT YOUR SURFBOARD FIN IN STYLE – WHY W SINGLE FIN COVER IS YOUR BEST CHOICE

Writer's picture: wahineswahines

Updated: Feb 4


Why is it a wise investment to acquire the protections we present in our blog? In a previous post, we provided an overview of the various protection options available.


We surfers spend a lot of time loading boards onto car roofs and moving them in and out of storage or homes. Our equipment is often both costly and delicate. One of the most vulnerable parts of a surfboard is the fin. It is not only sensitive but also difficult to repair. If a fin gets damaged, it often cannot be fixed, which means you’ll have to buy a new one. WAHINES always emphasizes the importance of sustainable consumption and taking care of what we own – that’s why we want to offer you the best options to protect your belongings.


The fin's function on the surfboard is crucial, and it’s hard to surf without it. A fin provides stability in waves and makes the board more maneuverable, as you use your body as a guide.


We have developed the W Single Fin to provide you with a protection that ensures your beloved surfboard is ready for any occasion.


You will be convinced that this is truly a worthwhile investment, not only for its stylish quality but also for its functionality. We use carefully selected fabrics that are deadstock, meaning they have already been produced but never used. Therefore, we do not produce new material for our products, as it is crucial for a circular textile production.

 



How does our test work?


We are very keen to gain a clear understanding of how our products hold up over longer periods, which is why we integrate our assessments of their performance over time.


The surf covers have accompanied us on surf trips and have been used while storing our equipment in the garage. We have truly integrated them into our surf lives, and this will be a summary of the insights we have gained.


The cover has been invaluable; it has always been there to protect our surfboard. A surfboard is an investment in an activity we are passionate about, and therefore, the cover is an essential part of this investment.


Of course, we have also used our W Surfboard Cover for extra protection of the fin during the testing period.


A cover with many advantages


The W Single Fin Cover offers a range of benefits for its price. Additionally, you will soon notice how practical the W Single Fin Cover is.


We choose our fabrics and details with great care, giving each cover a handcrafted feel. We do not produce any new material for our products in the WAHINES SEA COLLECTION, as it is essential for circular textile production.


Moreover, by working with deadstock materials, each cover becomes unique, making your investment truly feel personal. As the fabrics and colors vary, you can be assured that there are very few similar products on the market. We encourage you to keep an eye out, subscribe to our newsletter, and order when you find your favorite.


Size


W Single Fin Cover is available for order in three different sizes: 9, 9.5, and 9.75.


These are covers that fit the most common standard sizes. Each fin has its unique function depending on size and design. If you want to learn more about how fins on a surfboard work, joining our surf community is perfect.


Additionally, you are always welcome to send a request for a specific size that fits your fin.





Material


We use three layers of fabric, making our covers both durable and effective. Just like the W Surfboard Cover, the inside is protected by water-resistant and durable fabric. The padding is made from a carefully selected waste fabric, instead of synthetic padding material. Moreover, you can count on us always choosing deadstock materials, which have lower climate emissions and contribute to reduced textile waste.


Deadstock is a circular solution as no new textile products are produced, which is important. We currently have an overproduction of new clothes and materials that could potentially be recycled, but this requires energy, or is completely handled as waste and ends up in a textile mountain in a third country.


WAHINES therefore chooses the fabrics extra carefully to provide you with a product that is unique. A product made entirely for you and our beautiful nature. As surfers, there’s nothing better than seeing our oceans free from human debris and playful animals in the water.




Details


Every detail on the W Single Fin is crafted in a traditional manner. Our buckles, like those used on the W Surfboard Cover, are made from waste materials sourced from leather wholesalers that would otherwise have been discarded. By reusing the leather, we create a product that is both stylish and sustainable. All the leather we use is vegetable-tanned, meaning no harmful chemicals are involved in the manufacturing process. Each buckle is hand-stitched using traditional techniques, making each product unique.


The simple buckle holds the fin securely in the cover, and the straightforward design follows the fin’s shapes. Since we want you to experience the ease of carrying your gear, we’ve designed the buckle so you can attach it to your W Surfboard Cover, ensuring you keep track of your belongings.


For us, it’s important to never use plastic details that can be left on the beach or end up in the ocean. Not only do they break down into microplastics, but plastic is also a deadly trap for animals in nature. For example, turtles mistake floating plastic for food, like jellyfish, which can have devastating consequences if ingested.




The entire WAHINES SEA COLLECTION is an exclusive and artisanal product line, designed for those who value their surfboard and the surrounding nature. Every penny you invest in protecting your surfboard is a commitment to style and quality.


We have a clear vision for the products in the WAHINES SEA COLLECTION: to be thoughtful and ethically produced, with materials free from harmful chemicals for both you and the environment.
