DaFin Fins - Zak Noyle - Wawamalu

The Sandy Beach Surf Report was started on Instagram in 2020 as a way to keep the community connected and informed about the conditions at Wāwāmalu (Sandy Beach). Its founder, Tyler Watanabe, has been surfing the dangerous and beautiful shoreline for more than 25 years. His reports and often comical videos covering the surf and unique character of Wāwāmalu quickly grew his following and now reaches an international audience. To Tyler, his followers, and the many people who enjoy Wāwāmalu, it is more than just a beach – it is a lifestyle.

To give back to the place and community that has grown the Sandy Beach Surf Report, Zak Noyle, and DaFin Hawaii, we have teamed up to gift a portion of these limited edition fins to the lifeguards, locals and groms who are the heart of Wāwāmalu.

To highlight the everyday talent in front of and behind the lens at Wāwāmalu, photos for this box design were selected from submissions to our Sandy Beach photo contest.

DaFin has earned its reputation with strong endorsements from the world's best watermen and has become the #1 choice of lifeguards, bodysurfers, and top watermen around the world.

The side rails --- the “strakes”--- on DaFin are rock solid but run only about half way down the length of the fin where they angle back to the blade.
This forces the fin to flex right at this critical point.

The raised v-shaped foot pocket combined with a stiff blade working together at the point of flex creates maximum acceleration of the water flowing over the fin surface resulting in more thrust per kick with less effort.

• The perfect balance of comfort and power.
• Endorsed by the Hawaiian Lifeguard Association, United States Lifesaving Association and used by the best professional watermen and waterwomen around the world.
• Fins float in salt water.
• Lightweight and great for travel.
• Fins can be worn on either foot.
• Made with quality, natural rubber.
