Dead Kooks and Deflow
October 21, 2022Dead Kooks x Deflow
Eden Saul, founder of Dead Kooks, is one of Australia’s most iconic shapers, making boards for some of the best surfers on the world with eye catching resin tints and paints. Dead Kooks x Deflow brings you two unique fin templates, Impulse and Future Utopia.
Dead Kooks Impulse
Impulse
Designed as a suitable template for a wide range of surfers of varying sizes across boards from 9’0 upwards. This fin has ample base to give a reliable feeling when nose-riding, while maintaining area towards the tip to keep things tight and increase drive through turns. We wanted to keep flex to a minimum on this, as too much flex in a fin this size can lead to the washing off of speed through turns.
Dead Kooks Future Utopia
Future Utopia
These fit in the hole between an upright twin and a keel, without being too ‘blobby’ or bulky. The swept back leading edge reminiscent of a more keel styled approach minimises turbulence for speed and drive when flying down the line, with a more pulled in trailing edge to allow for tighter bottom turns and to give plenty of spring when projecting more vertically. Equally well placed in your high-performance twin or more traditional fish.
