Beneath The Surface - Episode 7 With Harley Ingleby

Episode 7 With Harley Ingleby

Surfboard fins play a significant role in shaping the performance of a surfer and their board when they unite on a wave. While the design of a surfboard holds its own allure, it is the fins that truly breathe life into a board. With the aim of unraveling the secrets behind fin templates, we reached out to some of the world's best surfers.

In episode seven of Beneath The Surface, we catch up two times World Longboard Champion, shaper and Coffs Harbour local Harley Ingleby.

FCS jumps into his Coffs Harbour board cave to get deep on fins and how different fins have complemented the wide array of boards in Harley's quiver.

"A lot of people will get hung up on a set of fins, but I always ask what was their point of reference before you got on those fins or on that equipment? I know guys who ride twinnies a lot and they don't look loose or slidey but if you've come off riding something standard and functional then your first surf on a twin is going to feel swirly."
