Since 1936, the Churchill fin has set the standard for serious bodyboarders and swimmers. Originally developed by Owen Churchill and used by the U.S. Navy, this iconic dolphin-tail design made its way into bodyboarding in 1971 and has been trusted by world champions and everyday riders ever since. The Makapuu carries that legacy forward, built for real power, speed, and control in the water.
Dolphin-tail design: the patented shape behind explosive acceleration, maximum thrust, and precise control on every wave.
Reinforced blade rails: stiffened for extra propulsion, so every kick translates into more power.
Soft, comfortable foot pocket: a malleable rubber fit that cuts down on chafing, so you can stay in the water longer.
Built-in drainage hole: clears sand and debris automatically, keeping your fins light and clean.
Includes a mesh carrying bag: easy to pack, and helps your fins dry fast and stay odor-free.
