Firewire Endorfins Slater KS1 3 Fin Set
Anyone searching for Endorfins fins is usually after Kelly Slater's KS1 fin, and this 1-tab 3 fin set is built around Endorfins' core idea, innovative carbon inlays that add strength and flex while letting the fin be built with a core comprised of 90 percent pure air. The result is a fin that performs well and literally floats on water.
Features and design
- Carbon inlays for added strength and flex
- Core built with 90 percent pure air, so the fins float
- Base compatible with either two tab or single tab fin boxes
- Futures compatible base works like a standard Futures base fin
- FCSII compatible base uses two screws included with the fins and does not click in or out
Who it is for
This set suits a surfer who wants Kelly Slater's own KS1 fin template and appreciates that the fins are engineered to float if they ever come loose, useful anywhere fins can end up lost in the water, including the reef and inlet conditions found around South Florida. The 1-tab base construction here is built to work with either two tab or single tab boxes depending on how your board is set up.
Installing and caring for the fins
Check which fin boxes your board uses before installing, since the Futures compatible base clicks in like a standard Futures fin while the FCSII compatible base is screwed in with the included screws rather than clicked into place. Rinse the fins with fresh water after saltwater sessions, and because they float, there is less risk of losing one permanently if it does come free, though it should still be reinstalled and secured properly before the next session.
About Endorfins and the eco story
The circle on the side of each Endorfins fin represents flow, a new take on Kelly Slater's iconic circular branding built forward while paying homage to the past. Kelly has a hobby of collecting abandoned fins from the reef near his home in Hawaii, and by screwing Endorfins into surfboards, and by making them float, Endorfins works to prevent fins from becoming ocean floor trash. The brand also works to wipe the yearly carbon footprint of its fin production through conserving kelp forest in California, protecting rain forest in Africa, and planting mangrove trees in Indonesia.
