So as the crziness continues we bring you our April Newsletter… We’re not going to say anything on covid-19 other than people know that there is a highly contageous virus about and moving transmits it.

So back to this and we have a fantastic interview by Jamie McClellan with Yucca Fins founder, Sean Starkey, news of a bit of a renaming of an old fave, new stock in our store and much more… Enjoy!

THE QUARANTINE CHRONICLES

Our roving reporter Jamie McClellan has been hard at work getting in touch witrh the great and the good from the surfmat world for a series of interviews to keep us all stoked during what is, by anyone’s standards, a really odd time.

We are SUPER proud to kick off with an interview with the Wedge legend that is Sean Starkey of Yucca Fins.

VIDEO OF THE MONTH

This month’s video/photo of the month is more from Sean Starkey. This video is a fascinating insite in to the technical side of swim fins and, in particular, a look at generic molds. You really do get what you pay for!

There has been a lot of confusion around the cost of fins. Why some fins cost more then others. I’ve found it very surprising that more people are unaware of generic fin molds. In this episode I discuss and explain generic fin molds, how a consumer can spot a generic fin and why these fins from generic molds can be sold cheaper then fins designed from the ground up like #yuccafins
