Deluxe VOL 2.0 coming soon

New shape. New colors. New riders

VOL 2.0 coming soon

Throughout the bodyboard history, there have been many tries in the pursuing of crafting the "perfect" fins. Some were good, some were bad. Anyway, they have always not worked fine. At Deluxe Fins we've put together all the "good ideas", very well accepted by the bodyboard industry up to date, and the result is extraordinary. A high performance fin with a very streamline design and a new unique drainage system that supplies the needs of the most demanding riders, from recreational riders to the elite proffesional bodyboarders.

However, we have not only stopped in the engineering. We've gone further and we have also given a lot of thought in the style. We have developed alongside our renowned riders a series of color combinations in order to not only wear a fin, but to wear it with style.

The new Deluxe VOL 2.0 features a new reinvented streamline design with a touch of glamour, thanks to their fashioned and timeless colorways. More info coming soon.
