The CORE ORCA PRO FIN SET is a pair of high-performance, carbon-reinforced composite heelside fins, designed to maximize grip, edging power, and jump height on any twintip.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Next-Level Grip and Control
The Orca Pro's curved profile generates targeted downforce on the heelside edge. The result is immediate: a noticeably more aggressive bite when edging, a cleaner line through chop, and a harder, longer-lasting edge load before you take off. The fin keeps your board tracking true while still allowing for fluid, controlled carves. Riding fast no longer means sacrificing precision.
Carbon Composite: Performance You Can Feel
Built from an injection-molded, high-performance composite reinforced with long carbon fibers, the Orca Pro combines high stiffness, impact resistance, and direct power transfer with zero energy loss. The surface features two distinct finishes: partially matted areas for increased grip, and smooth surfaces to reduce friction and maximize speed. This attention to detail results in a perfect balance between grip and glide.
Dual Mounting Positions
Each fin has two mounting positions. The CORE/CARVED Performance Setup, optimized for CORE twintips, offers maximum tracking and control. The Universal Setup, which uses the same holes as the original Orca fins, prioritizes agility for a livelier feel. This lets you adapt your setup to your style and the day's conditions just by moving a screw, with no other changes to your gear.
Exclusive Heelside, Open Toeside
The Orca Pro comes as a set of 2 fins, mounted exclusively on the heelside. The toeside remains entirely open: combine the Orca Pro with your favorite EQ Pro or EQ Fins for a custom hybrid setup. This gives you maximum downforce and control on the heelside while retaining the familiar feel of your favorite fins on the toeside. Mounting screws and washers are included.

FAQ, CORE ORCA PRO FIN SET
The Orca Pro is for intermediate to expert Big Air or Freeride kiters who want to maximize their heelside grip, load their edge longer, and boost higher. It's also great for riders looking to improve their high-speed control in chop.
The reinforced carbon composite provides direct power transfer with no unwanted flex. The curved profile generates targeted downforce on your heelside edge, allowing you to load the board harder for more explosive pop, better tracking in chop, and a measurable increase in jump height.
Yes. The Orca Pro is compatible with all kitesurf twintips that use standard fin boxes. It offers two mounting positions: the CORE/CARVED Performance Setup (optimized for CORE boards) and the Universal Setup (which matches the original Orca hole pattern) for all other brands.
Absolutely. The Orca Pro is mounted exclusively on the heelside (2 fins supplied). The toeside remains free and can be equipped with your usual fins, especially the EQ Pro or EQ Fins CORE. This hybrid setup combines the heelside downforce of the Orca Pro with the familiar feel of your favorite toeside fins.
Rinse the fins with fresh water and wipe them dry after each session. Check the mounting screws regularly to make sure they're tight. Store your board where it won't get damaged. If you have a hard impact, inspect the fins carefully before your next session. The carbon composite is tough, but a direct hit on an obstacle can still cause damage.
