Ultralight prepreg carbon hatchet race fin with matte black finish and center cut outs, US fin box compatible

The Carbon Hatchet Race Fin is built for paddlers who care about every stroke. The hatchet shape adds surface area where it counts so your board holds a straight line through long sets, while the ultralight prepreg carbon construction keeps weight off the tail and energy in your stroke. A clean foil and crisp trailing edge release water smoothly, so you carry speed instead of fighting drag.

Why paddlers choose it

  • Strong tracking on long distance and race efforts thanks to the wide hatchet profile
  • Ultralight prepreg carbon shaves weight off the tail of your board for a livelier feel
  • Stiff layup transfers power directly into glide rather than flexing it away
  • Cut outs reduce weight without giving up the surface area you need for stability
  • Universal US fin box fit works with the NIXY Malibu G5 and most race or touring SUPs

Best for

  • Flatwater racing and time trials
  • Long distance touring and fitness paddles
  • Narrow race boards where stability matters
  • Paddlers upgrading from a stock plastic race fin

  • Finish: Matte black with center cut outs

Good to know
What is the Carbon Hatchet Race Fin designed for?

Flatwater racing, time trials, and long-distance touring where every ounce of weight and every degree of drag matters. The hatchet shape adds surface area in the rear of the fin to lock the board on a straight line through long sets, while the ultralight prepreg carbon construction keeps weight off the tail so the board feels livelier and more responsive between strokes.
Will the Carbon Hatchet fit my paddle board?

Yes if your board has a US fin box, which covers the full NIXY G5 lineup (Newport, Venice, Huntington, Monterey, Manhattan, Malibu) and most race or touring SUPs from other brands. The fin ships with its own screw and plate, and most installations are tool-less.
How is the Hatchet different from the Carbon Race Fin Model 2?

Profile. The Hatchet has a narrower, more upright shape tuned for flatwater speed and pure glide efficiency. The Model 2 has a fuller profile with more rake and grip, built for choppy open water where stability saves energy. Same carbon construction and US fin box fit on both. Pick the Hatchet for race day flat, the Model 2 for race day chop.
How do I install the Carbon Hatchet Race Fin?

Slide the fin tab into the US fin box, drop in the included screw and plate, finger-tighten or use a coin if your fin box needs the extra torque. For travel, loosen the screw, lift the fin straight out, and pack it in a hard sleeve. The prepreg carbon is light and stiff, which also means it does not love being thrown loose in a bag with hard objects.
What is the Carbon Hatchet Race Fin made of?

Ultralight 5th generation prepreg carbon, matte black finish with center cut outs that trim weight without reducing the surface area you need for stability. The layup is stiff: the fin holds shape under hard paddle loading instead of flexing, which is what separates a race fin from a stock plastic fin.
When should I upgrade to the Carbon Hatchet?

Step up to the Hatchet when you are racing, running time trials, or putting in long distance fitness paddles where weight savings and stiffness compound over hundreds of strokes. Stay on a nylon race fin or the stock 9 inch if you mostly paddle for fun, beach launch over rocks (carbon does not love impact), or rent your board out.
