Endorfins Slater KS1 Surfboard Fins Review

Matt Reviews The Slater KS1 Endorfins:
www.boardshop....
Endorfins is the new surfboard fin brand from the GOAT Kelly Slater. Endorfins are a new take on fin design and construction, Slater has taken classic fin designs and come up with a range of functional fins in a wholly new construction. The aim of all of this is to product fins that function better and have a minimised carbon footprint. Endorfins represent a genuine alternative to FCS II and Futures compatible fins and the best bit, they float! ‘Screw your fins, not your ocean” is the catchphrase for Endorfins, we like it. Kelly has a hobby of collecting fins from the reef in front of his home in Hawaii, these fins are just pollutants, adding to the problem of ocean pollution generally. Endorfins screw into your board, and they float so ocean pollution is hugely minimised.
Slater is continuing the brands commitment to Sea Trees, wiping the yearly carbon footprint of their fin production through conserving kelp forest in California, protecting rain forest in Africa, and planting mangrove trees in Indonesia. Surfing equipment has evolved heaps in the last few years and this latest innovation from Kelly Slater is a great step forward in both fin performance and eco awareness. We’re stoked to be part of the program with Endorfins surfboard fins, the full range is online right now.

Riding a set of KS1 large as a quad in my Chilli Mid Strength. Amazing fins.

[@BoardshopUK]

You should try these. They have elevated the old set to new heights.

[@iamthedaneman]

Are the quad rears flat foil or symmetrical?

[@andreavalpiani9078]

Hi, I wanted to ask if the sensation is surfing with honeycomb fins?? or much more rigid??

[@caseymccormack2000]

Great Review.. I always wanted to try the KS1.

[@BoardshopUK]

Stoked you love the review. Get yourself a set.

[@simonfujiyama]

i am 90kg but the shop owner sold me the „M“ size fins. I have a 6.6 fish with a wide nose, low rocker and much volume (47l). Do I have to swap them or can I stick to the M size? How will it affect my surf performance?

[@BoardshopUK]

Board and wave dependent. For 90kgs I would say a Large set is best

[@Surf_Salt]

do they have a nice flex? or really stiff like an fcs Aircore? Size recommendation for 180 lbs?

[@BoardshopUK]

They do! If you watch the full video we break down how the flex feels.

[@toubutey]

How does the fin template compare to the AM1, are they more upright?

[@BoardshopUK]

They are the KS1 template. A touch more upright than an AM template. The AM's are more raked.

[@a.lame.username.]

They will literally be floating around in the Ocean, which has got to be better than sinking!

[@BoardshopUK]

Hopefully not. they shouldn't come out...

[@dpher1]

Could you please suggest some fins for a pyzel phantom 5'11, I'm 71kg, I'm keen to try these. Thanks.

[@BoardshopUK]

For sure. Email us and we can help. Cheers

Not sure going back to FCS I fins that fit in FCS II fin boxes is innovative, but sure :)

[@BoardshopUK]

The Endorfins KS1 are FCS II compatible fins. The Endorfin’s come with grub screws just like the original FCS fin and it is essential you screw them in, they are not pop in and out like the FCS II fins.

[@IPHMLAMIL]

@@BoardshopUK are these fcs2 compatible with future? It looks like they might fit on the futures box. Is that right? What does the dual and single versions mean? I haven´t found any clear info about these diferent systems on the KS fins
