466 - Spit! July 15, 2026

All right, Scott Bass, welcome back to the show.

We've got SurfNVS with us today.

Look at these freaky fins.

Oh, heck yes.

Look at all those killer fins.

I see some favorites

there.

Look, you keep the classics on hand, but why not get wild? Go with the C-drives, go with the Shane Horan upright fins, the Weber quads, Maurice Cole, all sorts of interesting templates.

foils

you know one of the coolest things about the boardroom show is just talking to all the fin guys there there's you know fcs is there true aims is there of course nvs is there um occasionally rainbows there so it's so fascinating right to actually get insight from the guys that it can talk the talk regarding fins

Absolutely.

Yeah.

I mean, obviously some of these that are less conventional, you'd want to know what the attributes are before you commit.

So they are the experts.

And, um, what we love about the NBS fins is the G 10 laminate laminate, um, construction material, which is super strong.

So they can actually foil the fins much thinner than traditionally.

So you get, um, More maneuverability and kind of precision surfing, but without sacrificing or risking the fact of breaking the tip off the fin or breaking the fin at all.

So they're guaranteed for life is how strong they are.

So pretty incredible stuff at surfnvs.com. How many fins you bring in with you to Indo? How many sets of fins should I say?

That's a great question.

And because I'm trying to pack really light.

So...

I think five sets

for three boards.

Three boards, five sets.

There you go.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Smart.

Quiver Expander.

Yeah, for sure.

So, yeah, and I always bring extra sets because NBS is so generous that they like to style out the locals.

Wherever we're going, they're like, I'm going to send you some fins, leave them behind so that not only the crew can use them, but maybe future tourists can have access to them too.

I'll do that too.

I'll leave behind some fins for sure.

I usually leave

behind surfboards.

I'm just like, here, take this board.

Yeah.

I mean, look, Indonesia has tons of surf tourism and probably access to fins and boards.

But like where we go and where I'm going, Chicama, Peru, it's pretty remote.

And yeah, there's tourists that come through there, but there's not a bunch of surf shops locally.

There's not a bunch of board builders locally.

So leaving things behind, I think, is really helpful.

Because if you're in a pinch and the waves are pumping and you don't have what you need, that's the ultimate bummer.

Absolutely.

Good call.

So thank you, SurfNVS, for the generosity and the high quality fins.
