Depth 8” Base 6.5”
The 8" Performer Center Fin in Volan Pro Glass delivers increased hold and projection while retaining the smooth, balanced feel the Performer template is known for — now paired with a tool-free click-in base designed for sliding center fin boxes.
At 8", this fin adds stability and drive for longboards and larger midlengths, making it ideal for surfers who want confident trim speed and control without the locked-in feel of a more upright tracker-style fin. The Performer outline provides a versatile balance between hold and manoeuvrability, allowing flowing turns and predictable rail engagement.
Built from premium Volan fibreglass, the fin offers a naturally dampened flex pattern that smooths out chatter and maintains momentum through flat or bumpy sections. Combined with the click-in system, it’s a classic feel with modern convenience.
