- The C-Drive template was developed by Troy Clutton C&C Fin Design and has been used by the likes of Ross Clarke-Jones, Maurice Cole and many others. The unique design is so innovative it was awarded a worldwide patent. So how does it work? The combination of a very wide base with lots of surface area lower in the fin provides ridiculous amounts of drive paired with the cutout and more refined tip allow for more maneuverability.
- The base is wider than the depth which isn’t seen in your typical thruster fins. Best suited for Intermediate+ to advanced surfers who spend more time on rail and those who like to get in late. The C-Drive fins are a stiff fin which is why we made them with G10 fiberglass, we’re able to keep the rigidity needed for these to perform properly while keeping them foiled thinner than when using standard fiberglass.
- BASE: 4.89 inch HEIGHT: 4.62 inch FOIL: Flat SeriesIII
- FOILING: Flat SeriesIII - The exclusive NVS SeriesIII Foiling is designed to increase laminar flow (Hold), and decrease turbulent flow (Drag). The SeriesIII Foils work on a wider range or angle of attack which means you'll hold more speed through turns. SeriesIII Foiling designed on fluid dynamics research from NASA.
- We're releasing the C-Drive thruster fins in our Apex Series construction; made with a solid piece of precision foiled G10 fiberglass for the ultimate in performance and durability. G10 is made by compressing layers of fiberglass and epoxy resin and baking it an autoclave to have the maximum strength of any fiberglass available.

Better MaterialWe use G10, an industrial grade fiberglass which is manufactured to the highest quality standard. Made by heating special fibers with epoxy resin under intense pressure in order to make a perfect panel; we’ve eliminated the errors which can occur by using a hand layup. By heating the fibers and resin under pressure we are left with the ideal resin to fiber ratio in order to maximize strength and decrease weight. Now that each fin contains more fiber we’re able to foil the fin thinner to in order to decrease drag and save even more weight without compromising the structural integrity. |
Better FoilingAlong with the thinner foils we use a very specific foil that was derived from a series of NACA foils whose purpose was to increase laminar flow (speed) while decreasing turbulent flow (drag). This translates to a fin that allows for faster/easier generation of speed and has a wider angle of attack, which means you won’t loose as much speed while bottom turning or going through hard cutbacks. Precision machined foiling yields the most accurate foils available on any fin type or construction; why do you think a vast majority of big wave fins are machined, not molded? The combination of spring from the epoxy infused G10 fiberglass with the hydrodynamic foil allow for easy generation of speed while maintaining control in all conditions. |
Better ManufacturingBy using cutting edge CNC machines and precise designs we machine cut each fin in order to have the perfect foil and finish. All NVS fins are designed 100% in house using advanced 3D software. This is what makes the Apex Series G10 fins the strongest most high performance fins in the world. Of course performing better than anything on the market isn’t enough for us so we left these with a unique and sexy tree ring finish that is sure to turn heads ;) |
What is SeriesIII Foiling
The NVS SeriesIII Foiling utilizes specific NACA foiling to maximize laminar flow and decrease turbulent flow.
One of the key design features of the SeriesIII foiling is the more refined leading edge which decreases separation as water flows down the side of the fins. The thick leading edge used on most fins creates significant amounts of turbulence, slowing you down and causing stalling during hard turns.
SeriesIII Fins allow for quicker acceleration down the line and a wider angle of attack so you can generate more speed and keep the speed through hard turns without stalling or feeling vibrations from the fins.
No other fins on the market can compare.
Who is NVS
NVS was born out of a joint venture between a group of San Diego and Italian friends, dissatisfied with the surf industry.
We believe that a vast majority of surf products are over-priced or under-perform and we decided to do something about it.
We set out to design and manufacture the highest quality surf accessories, while making them more affordable for surfers. After years of development and meticulous testing with our team riders, we've come up with what we believe are the best products on the market, at a fraction of the cost.
