Glass on Fins
Glass on Fins are laminated to the board itself with fiberglass and are non-removable. Since they are attached to the board, they provide greater strength and better performance. However, they are a bit expensive and are difficult to repair. Non-removable fins can also be a hassle during travel.
Removable Fin Systems
Removable Fin Systems were developed in the early 90’s but when they first started out, they weren’t interchangeable. Nowadays, this type of fins provides surfers with the ability to enhance their riding skills by changing the size and shape of the fins. One advantage of removable fins is that you can take them out whenever you like. The downside with removable fins is that there is no standard fin system. You have to find the right fins that are suitable for your board.
