Summary

For as long as there have been surfers, there has been an accepted standard of what was normal of finless redwood planks in the '20s, longboards in the '60s, single-fins in the '70s, thrusters in the '80s and '90s. But today, there is no standard; there is no norm. There is only a group of surfers that are going their own way. FIN is an examination of the current state of the art, a time in surfing culture when surfers are compelled to ride whatever they want in order to facilitate a style that suits them best. FIN is a study of the end of one mentality, a look at the current epoch of surfing history, and a celebration of a time in surf culture when what you ride means nothing, but how you ride it means everything.
