How a retractable fin works
A retractable fin combines all the advantages of a traditional fin with the advantages of a very short fin. Its specificity is that the fin folds backward when it hits an obstacle. This mechanism and its construction allow it to glide over all waterbeds, rocks, algae... Consequently, nothing will slow down your paddle stroke! A retractable paddle fin will offer you many advantages for navigating: versatility, maneuverability, robustness, more navigation possibilities…
