The 10.75" Funky Monkey — Built for Classic Longboard Power
The Eveley 10.75" Funky Monkey Center Fin is a powerful traditional longboard fin designed for surfers who want maximum control, hold, and smooth turning from their Longboard Fin setup.
With its generous depth and balanced rake, this fin creates a stable pivot point under the tail of the board, allowing the rider to confidently drive through turns while maintaining exceptional trim speed across the face of the wave.
The Funky Monkey template blends classic longboard heritage with modern foil refinement, producing a fin that works beautifully in a wide range of traditional surf conditions.
Whether you're cross-stepping into the pocket or drawing clean lines down the point, this fin provides the control that serious longboard surfers expect from premium Surfboard Fins.
Why the Funky Monkey Template Works
The template of a fin dramatically influences how a board feels underfoot. The Funky Monkey is designed around three essential performance characteristics:
1. Powerful Pivot Control
The deeper 10.75" profile creates a strong turning axis, giving the board a stable pivot point when initiating turns.
2. Excellent Hold in the Pocket
More surface area provides additional grip in steeper sections, making it ideal for powerful point breaks and lined-up beach breaks.
3. Smooth Trim and Glide
The moderate rake allows the board to maintain forward drive while still responding cleanly during direction changes.

Natural Pro Glass Construction
The Funky Monkey is built using Eveley Natural Pro Glass, a construction designed to maximise strength, responsiveness, and longevity.
Benefits include:
• High-density fiberglass laminate
• Progressive flex pattern for drive and control
• Excellent durability under heavy loads
• Classic handcrafted aesthetic
Unlike injection-moulded fins, Pro Glass construction delivers a more predictable flex pattern that experienced surfers recognise immediately.
The result is a fin that feels alive under the board.

Longboard Fin Style Guide
Choosing the right surfboard fin dramatically changes how a board feels in the water. Different fin templates control how easily your board turns, holds, and flows through a wave.
Pivot Fin
Best for: Traditional longboarding and noseriding
Pivot fins are designed with a wide base and upright template. This creates strong stability at the tail, making it easier to hold the board steady while walking to the nose.
What it feels like:
Tight turning radius
Excellent noseriding stability
Very controlled, classic longboard feel
Raked Fin
Best for: Performance longboarding and carving turns
Raked fins lean back with a swept template. This shape generates drive and allows the board to draw longer, smoother lines across the wave.
What it feels like:
Longer drawn-out turns
Strong drive down the line
Smooth carving arcs
Flex Fin
Best for: Smooth, flowing surfing styles
Flex fins are thinner through the tip and designed to bend during turns. As the fin loads and releases, it creates a very fluid and lively feeling through the arc.
What it feels like:
Smooth flowing turns
Responsive release through the tip
Fast, lively rail-to-rail feel
Funky Monkey

The Funky Monkey template blends elements of pivot and rake. The result is a versatile longboard fin that offers stability, drive, and reliable hold without feeling stiff.
What it feels like:
Balanced pivot and drive
Reliable hold in turns
Versatile performance across many boards
