Q&A – Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the Ride Tahe recommended for?
It is perfect for riders of all levels: from advanced beginners to those looking for a reliable fin for freeride and freerace, especially in light winds.
What is the main advantage over a stiffer “race” fin?
It offers a more balanced mix of thrust and comfort: it maintains good speed but with a more forgiving and easy feeling, ideal for long sessions and for those who want to maneuver without stress.
What does “double curve” mean and what changes does it make in the water?
The double curvature helps make the fin more maneuverable and fluid, making tacking/jibing easier and giving control in transitions.
What is the rigid twist for?
Increases lift and thrust, improving efficiency in starts and acceleration, especially in light winds.
How do I choose the right size?
Generally, it depends on the board's volume , sail area , and rider weight : more sail/weight → larger fin; less sail/weight → smaller fin. If you tell me board + sail + weight, I'll give you the size.
Is it suitable for windsurfing schools?
Yes: it is considered a reference fin for schools because it is stable, predictable and helps get students planing faster, improving the experience.
