NIXY 8 inch TPU flex center fin in translucent finish for shallow water and beach launches on US fin box paddle boards

The 8" TPU Flex Center Fin is built for paddlers who do not always have the luxury of deep, clear water. Flexible TPU construction lets the fin bend when it meets a rock, sandbar, or dock instead of cracking, while the 8 inch profile still gives you solid tracking on flatwater. The translucent finish is a clean look that works on almost any board.

Why paddlers choose it

  • Flexible TPU bends on impact instead of snapping, saving fins and fin boxes
  • 8 inch height balances tracking with clearance in shallow water
  • Translucent finish gives the board a lighter, cleaner look
  • Lightweight and travel friendly, packs easily in a board bag
  • Universal US fin box fit, drops into the NIXY all around lineup and most SUPs

Best for

  • River and shallow water paddling
  • Beach launches over sand and small rocks
  • Travel paddlers who do not want to baby a stiff fin
  • Casual cruising on lakes and bays

Good to know
What is the 8 inch TPU flex center fin designed for?

Mixed-water paddling for paddlers who do not always have the luxury of deep, clear water. The 8 inch profile gives solid tracking on lakes and bays, while the flexible TPU layup bends when it meets a rock, sandbar, or dock instead of cracking. The translucent finish keeps the look clean across any board color.
Will the 8 inch TPU flex 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 8 inch TPU flex different from the 9 inch TPU flex?

One inch of depth. The 8 inch is the better pick for paddlers who run mixed water with some shallow risk: it still tracks well on open water but has more clearance for rivers and beach launches. The 9 inch is the standard all-around depth and tracks straighter on open water at the cost of a bit of clearance.
How do I install the 8 inch TPU flex 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.
What is the 8 inch TPU flex fin made of?

Flexible TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) with a translucent finish. TPU bends on impact and returns to shape, which protects both the fin and the fin box on rocky launches and dock landings. The translucent finish is a clean look that does not clash with any board color.
When should I use the 8 inch TPU flex fin?

Use it as your daily fin if your home water includes shallow stretches, beach launches over sand or small rocks, or river-and-lake mixed routes. It is also a smart travel pick because you can pack it without worrying about breakage. Step up to the 9 inch TPU for purely open water where tracking matters more.
