homies

.. found this three fins in one shaped single fin in the end of this video AT 9:17 / 10:02

Does anyone know manufacturers of these and what effect it might have on surfing?

[oldmansurfer]

It doesn't seem to do anything good. Just a guess that it won't ever be commercially available. I don't see how it might help

What attributes are you looking to gain by purchasing one of the Tri-single fin ?

Better noseriding
Better turns
Better stability
Better speed

[wat4zz]

ah do you ask me that question or is this your answer?
im jsut wondering if these are even available, but could of course easily be made for oneself by burning fins together
you think these are the improvements of that fin?

i think the trisinglefin might have faster turns, what do you think?

is it at least better than a single fin?

It depends entirely on the skill of the rider and what they wish to do in their surfing.
As there are so many surfers world wide, if this worked even a little better we would see more in the surf!

[oldmansurfer]

I think it would have more turbulence, more drag, maybe some lift or opposite of that. So basically slow the board down and make it not turn as well and make the tail go down or up or stay in place. Just my guess but it might be good for nose riding. I imagine if it worked in some meaningful way it would be used by lots of people but it isn't.

[oldmansurfer]

Oh yeah and one more thing is if you are going very fast the board will hum and vibrate because the turbulence will torque the fin.

I am asking those questions to help answer if you want that fin to help you noseride better or turn better, etc.

So since you can make them so "easily", you should make one to compare the difference in how it helps improve the ride compared to the current fin(s) you are using.

Well it depends on how you a turning on your surfboard now. How are your turns ?
