Announcement

Our Asian manufacturers have consistently manufactured HANALEI FINS production fins. However, the unprecedented tariffs imposed on these nations have adversely impacted our business operations.

The severity of the tariffs prevents us from absorbing these additional costs. Furthermore, we cannot, in good conscience, pass the increased expense on to our customers.

Our short-term solution is to pivot to custom fins. Custom fins enable us to produce existing designs while making newer ones available. Naturally, this approach incurs a slower production process as these fins are handmade.

We must pursue this alternative business model because our small business’s limited resources restrict our options.

Our business has focused on providing surfers with fins that expand their horizons. We intend to continue offering our designs for your enjoyment. This appears to be the most suitable option for the immediate future.

Should circumstances change in the future, we will reassess this decision.

HANALEI FINS will remain available through Sanded Australia, as these tariffs do not affect them. We'll occasionally attempt to procure a limited supply of production fins through them, but shipping costs and tariffs are a consideration.

We will continue to sell HANALEI FINS from our website while we have inventory. HANALEI FINS will continue to exist. However, we believe it would be more efficient to spin off the custom fin aspect of the business and concentrate on it while these tariffs remain in effect.

Please visit our new website for more information on the custom fin business.

We want to express our sincere gratitude for your unwavering support. Your contributions have been instrumental in our success.

Delivering the future

HANALEI FINS manufactures an extensive range of CNC machined fiberglass, custom fiberglass, and G-10 fins. The fin range includes quads, thrusters, twins, and side bites. Regular single fins are available from our custom fin website.

We offer a wide range of unique templates unlike anything else in the marketplace. All fins are available with either GEARBOX, DUAL TAB, or FUTURES bases.

Fin Range

Versatile—Performance—Specialty

We have grouped our wide range of fins into categories to simplify their discovery. The color of each category also represents the color of the fins in that category.

The categories are shown below. Each card facilitates navigation to all fins in that category.

All thruster and trailer center fins are only available in black, which makes it easier to match them with different-colored side fins.

All fins are made of CNC-machined solid fiberglass.
