Hala Gear Fins

Fins Drive Your Experience

You need your board to respond and go where you want it to, and fins make your board respond! To break it down, there are four US-style center fin types and four sidebite fin types offered across Hala’s line.

Stompbox™

The StompBox™ is a patented retractable fin system available only from Hala Gear.

In combination with removable side bite fins, the StompBox™ is your ticket to reduced anxiety when running shallow rivers.

When your 9" StompBox fin comes in contact with rocks or the river bottom, this spring-loaded fin retracts into the board.

No one dared to use a 9" fin on a river SUP board, because no one wants to Superman over the nose of their SUP, when their board comes to a screeching halt from a snagged fin. The Stompbox 2 allows the fin to retract into the board, and the fin gives your board more control, surf, and drive. 

If you're getting into this sport and you don't have a Stompbox 2, your learning curve is a lot steeper. The Hala Gear Whitewater SUPs with Stompbox 2 are responsive, track well, and are super playful—they're the perfect combination of SUP rocker and fin options. US Patent 10,046,836

Hala Gear offers 3 Stompfin options: 9" Green Stompfin (note: only fits in Stompbox 2.0 fin system), 9" Orange Stompfin, and 4.5" Maroon Stompfin.

This fin box is ideal for flatwater applications or high-flow SUP racing on rivers, where larger fins are necessary to take the scoop out of your paddle stroke for maximum forward power.

Made from tough polycarbonate plastic, the AIR7 Center Fin box is precision injection molded with a hydrodynamic design. It is designed to easily swap in and out various center fin sizes and shapes.
