Ambitious slalom sailors who want to go fast in shallow waters or very weedy spots should go for the Delta Slalom.
Due to the wider base, the fin length can almost be halved compared to straight fins. The Delta Slalom allows excellent upwind runs, is very fast and the high rake offers increased safety in shallow conditions.
Best suited: Slalom in shallow waters and for extremely weedy conditions
Tuning tip for Delta fins: Avoid too much back-foot pressure – especially when not fully planing – and keep the board fairly flat (nose down). That will help you to avoid spin-outs.
All these features make the Delta fins the ultimate tool for shallow spots, extremely weedy conditions and speed sailing. Compared to a straight freeride or slalom fin, the fin length can almost be halved. Combined with the high rake, the danger of injury by touching ground is greatly reduced. Speed sailors can finally use the flat conditions of tidal waters for even higher speeds.
Delta wings are fast, easy to control, have great upwind abilities and jibe great in wide and medium arcs.
