NIXY 6.5 inch stiff TPU shallow water center fin in black for rivers, weeds, and sandbar clearance

The 6.5" TPU Shallow Water Fin is built for the places where a tall fin is more trouble than it is worth. The shorter profile clears rocks, sandbars, and weed lines without grabbing, and the flexible TPU layup bends on impact so a hidden snag does not end the day. If you paddle rivers, marshes, weedy lakes, or very shallow shorelines, this is the fin to keep on hand.

Why paddlers choose it

  • Compact 6.5 inch height clears rocks, weeds, and sandbars that catch tall fins
  • Flexible TPU bends on impact, protecting the fin and the fin box
  • Shorter rake sheds weeds and floating debris on river and marsh runs
  • Lightweight and easy to swap when conditions change
  • Universal US fin box fit, drops into the NIXY Pipeline, Newport, Monterey, and most SUPs

Best for

  • River paddling and slow current floats
  • Weedy lakes and marshes
  • Very shallow shorelines and tidal flats
  • A backup fin to keep in the bag for rocky takeouts

Specifications

  • Color: Black
  • Fin box: Universal FCS / US Center fin box
  • Includes: 1 fin, screw and plate

Good to know
What is the 6.5 inch TPU shallow water fin designed for?

Shallow water paddling where a taller fin gets caught: rivers, marshes, weedy lakes, and tidal flats. The shorter 6.5 inch profile clears rocks, sandbars, and weed lines without grabbing, and the flexible TPU layup bends on impact instead of cracking when you hit a hidden snag.
Will the 6.5 inch shallow water fin fit my board?

Yes if your board has a US fin box. That covers the full NIXY G5 lineup (Newport, Venice, Huntington, Monterey, Manhattan, Malibu) and most major SUPs. Screw and plate included.
How is the 6.5 inch shallow water fin different from the 8 inch TPU flex?

Depth. The 6.5 inch fin is shorter for very shallow water (rivers, marshes, weed-prone water) and trades some open-water tracking for clearance. The 8 inch TPU flex is taller for mixed conditions where some shallow risk exists but most of the session is on open water. Run the 6.5 if your home water is shallow, the 8 if it is mixed.
How do I install the 6.5 inch TPU shallow water fin?

Slide the fin tab into the US fin box, drop in the included screw and plate, finger-tighten. Tool-less on most installs. TPU is forgiving on threads, so do not overtighten. To swap fins mid-trip, loosen the screw, slide out, slide in.
What is the 6.5 inch shallow water fin made of?

Flexible TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) in black. TPU bends on impact and returns to shape, which is the whole point: rocks, sandbars, and submerged branches that would crack a stiff plastic or carbon fin just nudge the TPU out of the way. Black finish, US fin box compatible.
When should I use the 6.5 inch fin instead of the stock 9 inch?

Swap to the 6.5 when you are paddling rivers, weedy lakes, marshes, or any water shallow enough that a 9 inch fin would scrape bottom or get caught in plants. Keep it as a backup fin even if you mostly paddle deep water, since one rocky takeout can save your stock fin a lot of grief.
