Meanline Fins

At Meanline Fins development comes first!

That is why we have brought together the leading riders and designers in the industry. The founding members are Kai Hopf, Bernhard Brandstaetter and Nik Baker. Next to join were the Moreno Twins, Daida and Iballa, and last but not least, Jimmy Diaz and Bjorn Dunkerbeck.

Development Comes First:

What do we mean by this? Meanline is a company whose goal is to have the best products you can get on the market. This means we develop our fins with the best riders, designers, materials, and technology. This is an ongoing process and takes up the largest portion of our budget.  The fins are all produced using a CNC process with the raw material being Black G-10.

What is CNC?

CNC = Computer Numerical Control.  This is when you have a machine, controlled by a computer, cutting the fins out of a solid material. This allows us tolerances less than one tenth of a millimeter.

What is G10?

G10 is an epoxy pre-preg based high pressure laminate.  In the manufacturing process of this laminate, woven fiber glass, pre impregnated with epoxy is bonded under heat and tons of pressure per square cm.  This produces a material which is much stronger, much less susceptible to dings, and with more uniform properties to produce a more consistent product.

The use of CNC technology and G10, along with our prototype and production processes, ensures that the production fins are exact replicas of the prototypes.  So you can rest assured that when you sail your Meanline Fin, you will get the same fin that Nik, Daida, Iballa, Jimmy, and Bjorn use to compete with.

Meanline Fins offers a full compliment of fins consisting of wave fins, freestyle fins, freeride fins, slalom fins, and speed fins.
