Slater’s Little Nubby Buddy




Screwin’ Round Blues from Future Enigma on Vimeo.



Sean Mattison of Von Sol Surfboards is getting a lot of attention these days for getting Kelly Slater stoked on these little trailer fins called Nubsters. The Nubster stabilizes and eliminates that wishy washy effect quads can get, while keeping the quad loose and skatey and even carvey. And when Slater is stoked, we are stoked.

Nubster fins are available via our online store: clicky clicky

    Why not just have bigger rear fins or bring the fins in closer?…people are always trying to sell you shit you don’t need just for the almighty dollar.

    The only reason Owen beat Slater in NY was because Slater’s board buckled on that last huge maneuver.
