Designed in collaboration with Pro Surfer- Nate Florence
Overview
He's a slab hunter and a big-wave lord, but Nate Florence also surfs the same everyday waves as us. When he does, it's the accelerator templates that he clicks in his boards.
The template is designed for a balance of speed, flow, and response with added control. It's an oversized, all-round template with a fuller tip for surfers who like to attack the wave and perform aggressive turns. Suited to reef breaks and punchy beachies, this fin will hold on those critical turns.
Featuring the Nate Florence bolt that appears on his Big Wave fins, and also on his new signature traction. Dark, stealthy and with a hint of nostalgia in the lightning bolt.
Whether you’re surfing home breaks or pushing the limits on critical sections, this fin delivers speed, flow, and confident control.
"I seriously have just as much fun riding 2-6 waves as I do chasing monster swells and slabs, so this is my go-to template when I'm surfing around home in Hawaii, and my focus is more on performance than survival." - Nate Florence

A quick note about our photos!
We use a mix of official brand images and real-life shots from our warehouse to help you make an informed decision.
That said, what you see might differ slightly from what you receive — simply because we can't photograph every possible variation.
For example, a photo might show a 6'2 board with Futures fin boxes, while you've selected a 5'10 with FCS II. Don’t worry — you’ll get exactly what you ordered.
Sometimes, small details like the logo, its placement or overall colour tones can vary slightly depending on the production batch, camera, lighting, or even your screen settings.
These are always only minor differences, and in most cases, the photos are spot on - but we totally get that buying online can feel tricky. If you ever want more details, just drop us a message — we're happy to help!
