Makai Sparky Single Fin

Splitting from traditional templates the Sparky blends elements creating a multi-purpose fin. Instantly noticeable is the Sparky turns easily and quickly while allowing to carve turns as hard as possible. Cross-steppers find the fin politely encourages walking to the nose. With a length of 9.5” the full size tip allows more hold than usual for the size.

Re-issued from a classic Hawaiian fin by heralded Inter-Island Surf Shop head shaper Robert “Sparky” Scheufele this fin has been in the surf world for decades with various avatars by different fin producers worldwide. With a penchant for speed Sparky built this fin to handle everything from small Waikiki to overhead North Shore walls on. A one fin quiver before the surf gets too seriously big.

Following stringent surf testing in Indonesia and Europe we are happy to report our Sparky fin is ready to go. Not only is it calibrated to Sparky specs, it is also produced under license from Inter-Island Surf Shop.

Lastly, a favorite passage from an interview with Sparky on surfing:

“Push the gas to the floor, get the revs up, leave your board in neutral, and put your mind in drive, then just hang on.” - Robert “Sparky” Scheufele

About Makai Fins

From seed to sea…

What started as a spontaneous thought sprouted into a line of surfboard fins that represent our passion for surfing. With a background spread between Hawaii, Bali and California, surfing and the beach have been a big part of our family for three generations and the inspiration behind Makai Fins. As a family-owned business, it seemed very fitting and logical to connect our loves in life into a name that combined everything into one.

And that is how Makai was born.

The word Makai comes from a mix of our two children’s names, Makena and Lanikai, both named after beautiful beaches in Hawaii. In Hawaiian Makai means “towards the sea” and that is exactly where we want you to be! We hope our collection of handcrafted quality fins stoke you out to go surf!

Stay Salty!
